What is the vaccination schedule for my baby?

Currently, babies of appropriate age need to be vaccinated so that the body can prevent more diseases. There are generally regulations on the time for babies to receive vaccinations, and there will be a detailed schedule for what vaccines to receive and when. For example, the baby will be given a BCG injection within one day of birth, and then a hepatitis B vaccine at one month old. These are routine vaccination procedures.

Vaccination schedule

From birth to 12 years old, babies need to be injected with various vaccines. Within 24 hours of birth, they need to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine and BCG vaccine. At 2-4 months, they need to be vaccinated with polio sugar pills every month and pertussis vaccine regularly. Children aged 1-6 years old should be injected with Japanese encephalitis vaccine, hepatitis A vaccine, measles vaccine, etc. The specific vaccination time is:

1. Class I vaccines

Within 24 hours of birth: Hepatitis B vaccine - first shot; BCG vaccine - initial shot;

1 month old: Hepatitis B vaccine - second dose;

2 months old: Polio sugar pills - first shot;

3 months old: polio sugar pills - second shot; diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine - first shot;

4 months old: polio sugar pills - the third shot; diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine - the second shot;

6 months old: DPT vaccine - the third shot; Hepatitis B vaccine - the third shot; Group A meningococcal vaccine - the first shot;

8 months old: measles vaccine - first shot;

9 months: Group A meningococcal vaccine - second dose;

1 year old: Japanese encephalitis vaccine - initial vaccination;

1.5 to 2 years old: DTP vaccine - booster; polio sugar pills - partial booster; Japanese encephalitis vaccine - booster; hepatitis A vaccine;

3 years old: Group A meningococcal vaccine - the third dose (group A+C meningococcal vaccines can also be used)

4 years old: Polio vaccine – booster shot;

6 years old: measles vaccine - booster shot; diphtheria-pertussis vaccine - booster shot; Japanese encephalitis vaccine - third shot; Group A meningococcal vaccine - fourth shot;

12 years old: BCG booster shot.

The period from birth to 18 months of age is the "intensive period" for vaccination. During this period, parents have to take their children to relevant units for vaccination once a month on average. Before the age of 6, children need to receive 24 vaccinations.

2. Category II vaccines

Group A+C meningococcal vaccine: 1 injection at 3 years old, with booster injections at 6 and 9 years old.

Acellular diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine: It can replace the whole-cell diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine, and the vaccination procedure is the same as the whole-cell diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine.

MMR vaccine: one injection at 1.5-2 years old, and a booster injection 4 years after basic immunization.

Live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine or inactivated hepatitis A vaccine: The live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine is administered once at the age of 2 years, and a booster shot is given 4 years later. The inactivated vaccine is given as two doses at an interval of 6 months for children aged 1-16 years, and as one dose for children aged 16 years and above.

Varicella vaccine: 1 dose for children aged 1-12 years.

Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine: one injection each at 2, 4, and 6 months of age; one injection is sufficient for children over 12 months of age.

Influenza vaccine: 2 injections per year for children aged 1-3 years, with 1 month interval between injections. For children over 3 years old, vaccination should be given once a year.

Planned vaccination schedule

The infectious diseases covered by planned immunization are not only prevalent everywhere, making both healthy and weak babies susceptible to infection, but they are also highly contagious, with extremely high mortality and disability rates. If it is not properly controlled and spreads, it will cause great harm to mankind. The plan "implies mandatory" vaccination.
