Baby missed her 4 month checkup

So, my health insurance got messed up with my company, and they never added my daughter to my plan. I've been dealing with fixing it, but in the meantime, my baby has missed her 4-month checkup.
This means she also missed her second round of vaccines. How bad is this really? My mother keeps nagging me about it, and I didn't give it much thought because I know some babies are on a modified vaccine schedule. I did some research this afternoon, though, and now I'm wondering if I'm risking some serious effects to my LO.
She's almost 6 months old now. I plan on resolving the issue this week, so that she can go to the doctor and get back on schedule.

Re: Baby missed her 4 month checkup
I know in Canada we get the Rotovirus vaccine at 2 and 4 months (among others) and they seem to indicate that this vaccine needs to be given 2 months after the first dose. I think there is more flexibility with the others.
I personally would just be concerned about getting my baby checked out to make sure everything is developing well.
DS just had his 4 month appt Friday and we found out he has torticollis, so i'm glad we found out and can work on getting it treated. Dr. thinks he also had the croup, so we put off his vaccines by 1 week, but no more than that.
