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.
