Why are vaccines so important?
Vaccines train your child’s immune system to fight serious infections before they meet them. Giving each dose at the right age gives the best protection, when children are most at risk. Most vaccines need more than one dose, so following the schedule matters.
When: from birth, with key visits at 6, 10 and 14 weeks, then through childhood.
Safe: side effects are usually mild, like a little fever or soreness.
Missed one? don't restart, a catch-up plan fills the gaps.
What vaccines protect against
Serious illnesses your child
can be protected from.
Many of these infections are now rare because of vaccines, but they still circulate, and they can be severe in babies.
Severe diarrhoea
Rotavirus vaccine prevents dehydrating diarrhoea in infants.
Measles, mumps, rubella
MMR protects against these highly infectious diseases.
Whooping cough
DTP vaccines protect against pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus.
Polio
IPV and OPV keep polio away for good.
Hepatitis A & B
Protect the liver from long-term infection.
Typhoid
Typhoid conjugate vaccine protects against a common Indian infection.
Cervical cancer later
HPV vaccine at 9–14 years prevents cancers in adulthood.
Vaccine finder
Which vaccines are due at your child’s age?
Choose your child's age to see the vaccines usually given at that visit, based on Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP) recommendations. Free vaccines under the government programme follow a similar schedule.
Child unwell on vaccination day? A mild cold is usually fine, but tell the doctor about fever, recent illness, allergies or earlier vaccine reactions before the dose.
How a vaccination visit works

well recorded.
Most visits take 30–45 minutes, including the short wait after the injection.

FAQs
Questions parents ask
about vaccination.
Don’t see your question? Send it to us and our team will call you back.
Ask a questionWhich vaccines does my baby need at 6 weeks?
At 6 weeks babies usually receive DTP, IPV, Hib, Hepatitis B, Rotavirus and Pneumococcal (PCV) vaccines. Several of these are often given as one combination injection. Your paediatrician will confirm based on earlier doses.
What should I do if my child misses a vaccine?
Don't restart the series. Bring your child's vaccination card and our paediatrician will make a catch-up plan for the pending doses.
Is fever normal after vaccination?
A mild fever and fussiness for a day or two is common. Give fever medicine only as advised by your doctor. Call us if fever lasts more than 48 hours or your child seems very unwell.
What is the difference between painful and painless vaccines?
They differ in the whooping cough part of the DTP vaccine. Both protect well. The "painless" (acellular) type usually causes fewer side effects like fever and swelling.
Should my daughter get the HPV vaccine?
The HPV vaccine is recommended from 9 to 14 years and protects against cervical and some other cancers later in life. Discuss the right time with our paediatrician.
Can I get my child vaccinated without an appointment?
