Vaccines are recommended at different stages of childhood to help protect against vaccine-preventable diseases. A timely vaccination schedule helps parents keep track of essential doses, booster shots and follow-up appointments. Explore the age-wise vaccination guide below to understand the vaccines commonly recommended during infancy and childhood. The exact schedule may vary depending on the vaccine, your child's medical history and the immunization guidelines followed by the treating paediatrician. For personalised advice about vaccines for children, consult a paediatrician and bring your child's existing vaccination records.

Booster doses help maintain protection as children grow. Understand when these doses are recommended and how to keep your child's vaccination schedule on track.
Missed a scheduled vaccine? Consult a paediatrician to review previous doses and understand the appropriate catch-up vaccination plan for your child.
Keep your child's vaccination records organised and know which doses have been given and which may be due next. Get guidance whenever you have questions about immunization.
It's natural to worry about shots, fever or timing — especially with a tiny baby. Ask us anything before a vaccine is given, and we'll explain what it protects against and what to expect afterwards.
Straightforward answers to the questions parents ask us most about vaccines.
The chart above lists them by age: doses at birth, 6, 10 and 14 weeks, and 6 and 9 months, with more around the first birthday. We’ll tell you what’s due at each visit.
Yes. Giving several vaccines at one visit is standard practice – the schedule is built for it – and it means earlier protection with fewer trips.
Don’t worry. Bring your child’s vaccination card and we’ll plan a catch-up from where you left off – in most cases there’s no need to restart the series.
Mild fever, a sore arm or leg and extra fussiness for a day or two are common. Call us if the fever is high, your baby cries inconsolably, or something simply doesn’t seem right.
The government’s Universal Immunisation Programme provides core vaccines free at public facilities. Pediatricians also recommend extra vaccines – like chickenpox, hepatitis A and the yearly flu shot – that aren’t part of the free programme everywhere. We’ll explain which is which.
Booking ahead is best, so the right vaccines are ready for your child. We see children Monday to Saturday, 7–10 PM, and Sunday, 7:30–10 PM.
A mild cold, runny nose or slight cough does not always mean vaccination needs to be postponed. However, the decision depends on your child’s symptoms and overall health. Inform the paediatrician before vaccination so they can assess whether it is appropriate to proceed or reschedule.
