What parents may notice
- A dose is due
- The vaccination card is incomplete
- The child has missed several appointments
- Records from different clinics do not match
- The family is planning travel or school admission
- A previous reaction needs review
The IAP vaccination schedule is a clinical reference used by paediatricians in India to guide immunisation from birth through childhood and adolescence. A schedule is not a substitute for an individual review because the right timing depends on age, previous doses, health conditions, travel and missed vaccines.

Vaccination schedules change over time as evidence and recommendations evolve. Parents should use the latest clinician-reviewed schedule rather than relying on an old image or forwarded message.

Book a consultationUsually a series does not need to be restarted, but a paediatrician should create the correct catch-up plan.
Several vaccines can often be given together according to recognised guidance and the child's clinical situation.
The terms reflect public-programme and professional recommendations, availability and individual risk. A paediatrician can explain the current guidance.
Many children with mild illness can still receive vaccines, but the clinician should assess the child first.
Recommendations and product timing can change, and the child's previous doses need individual interpretation.
