So without further ado, the various vaccines, their booster doses, timing, instructions etc. are
as follows:

This chart is based on IAP recommended immunization schedule 2014. Make sure you
readocial IAP recommendation le and foot notes. It can be accessed here.

2. HOW TO READ THIS CHART?

The vaccine schedule is basically divided into 2 parts:

The age at which your child receives the 1st dose and the time gap between future doses.

EXAMPLE:

DTP VACCINE:

Your baby should receive the 1st dose of the DTP vaccine at least 6 weeks after birth.

The 2nd dose should be given 4 weeks after the 1st dose.

http://www.superbabyonline.com/immunizationscheduleinindia/ 4/13
10/04/2017 ImmunizationscheduleinIndia2017(Latest!!)

The 3rd dose takes place 4 weeks after the 2nd dose.
0

Booster 1 takes place 6 months after the 3rd dose.

And Booster 2 is given 3 years after Booster 1.

Got it? Thats easy right?

Now you can read the entire chart this way.

3. OH NO! I MISSED THE DATE

Forgot to take your baby for the vaccine?

Whats going to happen now?

If certain vaccination doses are missed or delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, a


CATCH-UP VACCINATION SCHEDULE kicks into gear.

First thing you need to do is consult your child paediatrician immediately!

4. THE CATCH-UP CHART

The catch-up vaccination schedule makes sure that all the vaccines are administered
appropriately after taking the delayed/missed dose into account.

The catch-up schedule is as follows:

5. HOW TO READ THE CATCH-UP CHART?


0
The vaccine schedule is again divided into 2 parts.

Part 1: If you forget the rst dose, what should you do?

Part 2: Time interval between future doses.

EXAMPLE:

DTP VACCINE:

If your baby misses the original DTP vaccine which is given 6 weeks after birth (see
original Vaccination Schedule), then,

The 1st dose of the catch-up version of the vaccine can be given any time.

The 2nd dose is given a month later.

The 3rd dose should take place 5 months after the 2nd dose.

6. FAQs

1. Why does my baby need vaccination?

Your child needs vaccination as it provides a thorough defence (or immunity) against a
potentially deadly disease.

Vaccination has proven to be the most eective method to stop the spread of infectious
diseases like smallpox, polio etc.

Children are injected with certain vaccines as soon as their immune systems have developed
suciently.

The rate of the development of the immune system leads to the formation of a vaccination or
immunization chart.

Additional booster shots are also required to achieve full immunity to a particular disease.

2. How do vaccines work?


http://www.superbabyonline.com/immunizationscheduleinindia/ 7/13
10/04/2017 ImmunizationscheduleinIndia2017(Latest!!)

Vaccines basically consist of either a WEAKENED OR DEAD VERSION of the disease


causing virus.

Yes, you are going to inject your child with a potentially deadly virus!!

But you neednt worry

Your babys immune system is fully capable of recognizing and dealing with these threats.

And once your babys immune system has dealt with the virus, it keeps a record of it in the
immune system.

Your child is now capable of identifying & dealing with similar threats in the future.

3. Are there any SIDE EFFECTS after Immunization?

The vaccines are made as safe & eective as possible, but every piece of medication
manufactured has unwanted side-eects.

Common side-eects following vaccination are mild and eeting in nature.



They usually last for 1-2 days after immunization.
http://www.superbabyonline.com/immunizationscheduleinindia/ 8/13
10/04/2017 ImmunizationscheduleinIndia2017(Latest!!)

The side-eects can range from mild fever to pain at the injection site. 0

If the symptoms persist for more than a few days, please consult your paediatrician for
further advice.

If you are more comfortable with electronic information, you can always download the
IAPs ocial Immunization App from the Android store.

The application contains the vaccination chart, FAQs, list of diseases and vaccines in a
very easy-to-read manner.

It even has a checklist which can be modied according to your babys details.

Timely reminders can be received whenever it is time for vaccination.

>>> DOWNLOAD IMMUNIZATION CHART <<<

OTHER GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Vaccination at birth ranges from as early as possible to not more than a week after birth.

Suppose your child has to take more that 1 vaccine on the same day, but due to some reason, the rst
one is given and there is a delay in the next, make sure the vaccines are injected within 24 hours of each
other.

That is, the delay shouldnt exceed 24hrs.

The recommended age in terms of weeks/months/years refers to the completed age of your baby in
equivalent terms.

Combination vaccines (vaccines for multiple diseases rolled into a single injection) are generally
preferred over separate injections.
http://www.superbabyonline.com/immunizationscheduleinindia/ 9/13
10/04/2017 ImmunizationscheduleinIndia2017(Latest!!)

The change of needles between drawing vaccine into the syringe and injecting into your child is not 0
necessary.

Multiple vaccines of dierent types SHOULD NOT BE MIXED in the same syringe
without specic licenses and labels.

Your baby should be observed very closely for 15-20 minutes after receiving an immunization. Be on
the lookout for any allergic reactions.

Whenever necessary, 2 vaccines can be injected into the same limb in a single visit.

The distance separating 2 injection spots on the body should be at least 1 inch so
as to make sure that local reactions do not overlap.

A previous immunization with a less than standard dose or one which has been administered in a non-
standard manner should not be counted and your baby should be re-immunized appropriately.

That pretty much sums up the general vaccinations that every child receives.

VACCINES FOR HIGH-RISK CHILDREN

Who is a high-risk child?


A child is classied as high-risk when he/she has a congenital disorder, a weak immune
system (including HIV), asthma, heart/lung problems, blood, liver and kidney diseases.

Even children who have pets at home or those who have a high risk of being bitten by dogs
are considered as such.

IAP recommends at least 7 vaccines for children belonging to the high-risk category:

Inuenza Vaccine

Meningococcal Vaccine

Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine


http://www.superbabyonline.com/immunizationscheduleinindia/ 10/13
10/04/2017 ImmunizationscheduleinIndia2017(Latest!!)
Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine

Cholera Vaccine 0
Rabies Vaccine

Yellow Fever Vaccine

Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine

For more information regarding the circumstances where these high-risk vaccines come into
play, it is better to approach your paediatrician. For more details, you can also read about
them on the IAPs recommendations for 2014.
