Baby Vaccination Schedule

Every vaccine with its exact date

Baby's date of birth

About this schedule

This is India's National Immunization Schedule under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP). It protects children against diseases like TB, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, hepatitis B, Hib, pneumonia, rotavirus diarrhoea, measles and rubella. The dates shown are the earliest recommended date for each visit, counted from your baby's date of birth. Keep your child's Mother and Child Protection (MCP) card and take it to every visit.

Your baby's date of birth stays on your phone. The dates are worked out right here and are never sent to ProMedicoz or shared with anyone. Only your ticks are kept, on this phone.

Frequently asked questions

Are these vaccines free?

Yes. All vaccines in the government schedule (UIP) are free at government hospitals, health centres and Anganwadi sessions. Private hospitals charge for them.

What if my baby missed a vaccine?

Don't worry. Most vaccines can still be given late as a catch-up dose. Show your child's vaccination card to a doctor or health worker and they will plan the missed doses.

Is it normal for my baby to get fever after a vaccine?

A mild fever, fussiness or a sore spot for a day or two is common. See a doctor if the fever is high, lasts more than two days, or your baby seems very unwell.

Can several vaccines be given on the same day?

Yes. Giving them together at the same visit is safe and recommended. It means fewer trips and protects your baby sooner.

Are private vaccines needed?

Some extra vaccines such as flu, typhoid, hepatitis A and chickenpox are available privately. Ask your paediatrician which ones suit your child.
