Child Vaccination Schedule: What Every Parent Should Know

A complete guide to the recommended vaccination schedule for children from birth to 12 years.

Why Vaccinations Are Important

Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to protect children from serious diseases. They work by training the immune system to recognize and fight specific viruses and bacteria.

Birth to 6 Months

BCG, Hepatitis B, OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine), Pentavalent vaccine, and Pneumococcal vaccine are given in the early months.

6 to 12 Months

Measles vaccine, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and annual influenza vaccines are administered.

1 to 5 Years

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Varicella, and booster doses are given.

Important Notes

Always consult your pediatrician for the recommended vaccination schedule. Keep a record of all vaccinations received.
