The Complete IAP Immunization Schedule

The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) updates its vaccination schedule every 2–3 years based on new evidence, disease burden in India, and vaccine availability. The schedule below reflects current IAP recommendations. Always confirm with your pediatrician, as some vaccines may be given in different combinations depending on your clinic's protocol.

Age Vaccines Notes
Birth BCG
Mandatory
Hepatitis B (1st)
OPV (0)
Given in maternity hospital. BCG protects against tuberculosis meningitis in infants.
6 Weeks DTaP (1st)
IPV (1st)
Hib (1st)
Hepatitis B (2nd)
PCV (1st)
Rotavirus (1st)
Multiple vaccines at once is safe — the immune system handles thousands of antigens daily.
10 Weeks DTaP (2nd)
IPV (2nd)
Hib (2nd)
PCV (2nd)
Rotavirus (2nd)
Second dose of primary series. Can be given up to 12 weeks if delayed.
14 Weeks DTaP (3rd)
IPV (3rd)
Hib (3rd)
Hepatitis B (3rd)
PCV (3rd)
Rotavirus (3rd)

6 Months Influenza (1st)
OPV (1st)
First influenza dose; second dose 4 weeks later. Annual flu vaccine recommended thereafter.
9 Months MMR (1st)
OPV (2nd)
Typhoid conjugate (1st)
MMR protects against measles, mumps, rubella. Typhoid is especially important in India.
12 Months Hepatitis A (1st)
Varicella (1st)
Hepatitis A is recommended in India given endemicity. Varicella prevents chickenpox.
15 Months MMR (2nd)
PCV (booster)
Varicella (2nd)
MMR booster ensures lasting immunity. Second varicella dose significantly improves protection.
18 Months DTaP (booster)
Hib (booster)
IPV (booster)
Hepatitis A (2nd)
Booster doses maintain protection as maternal antibodies wane completely.
2 Years Typhoid conjugate (2nd) Second typhoid dose for sustained protection; booster every 3 years thereafter.
4–6 Years DTaP (2nd booster)
IPV (2nd booster)
MMR (3rd)
Pre-school boosters before the child enters a group setting.
Note: This schedule is a general reference based on IAP recommendations. Your pediatrician may adjust timing, combinations, or add additional vaccines (like HPV, meningococcal, or Japanese encephalitis) based on your child's health status and local disease risk. Always confirm with your doctor.

How ChildBloom Helps You Stay on Schedule

ChildBloom's vaccination tracker generates a personalized schedule based on your child's date of birth. As vaccines are administered, you log them in the app — ChildBloom marks them complete, shows what's next, and sends you a reminder a week before each upcoming vaccine.

If your child misses a vaccine, the app flags it as overdue and Dr. Bloom can explain the catch-up options. You can share the vaccination record with any pediatrician by exporting it — useful when you switch doctors or travel.

Common Questions About Vaccines in India

Many Indian parents have genuine questions about vaccine safety, necessity of combination vaccines, and whether the government UIP schedule is sufficient. Dr. Bloom on ChildBloom answers these questions in your preferred language — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, or English — with evidence-based information that respects your concerns without dismissing them.

ChildBloom's AI pediatrician covers topics like: "Is the PCV vaccine necessary if my baby seems healthy?", "Can I give Calpol before the vaccination?", and "My baby cried for 3 hours after DTP — should I give the next dose?" These are real questions Indian parents ask, and they deserve real answers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IAP vaccination schedule for babies in India?
IAP recommends vaccines from birth through age 18, including BCG and Hepatitis B at birth; DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, and Rotavirus at 6, 10, and 14 weeks; MMR at 9 and 15 months; and boosters up to age 6. ChildBloom generates a personalized schedule based on your child's birthdate.
How does ChildBloom's vaccine tracker work?
Add your child's date of birth in ChildBloom. The app auto-generates the full IAP schedule. Log each vaccine when given, get reminders before upcoming ones, and flag any that are overdue — all in one place.
Is the rotavirus vaccine part of the IAP schedule?
Yes — IAP recommends rotavirus vaccination at 6, 10, and 14 weeks. Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea in Indian infants, and the vaccine significantly reduces hospitalizations.
What if my baby misses a vaccine?
Most vaccines can be caught up — missing a dose doesn't mean starting over. ChildBloom flags overdue vaccines, and Dr. Bloom can explain catch-up options, though your pediatrician makes the final decision.
What should I do if my baby has fever after vaccination?
Mild fever below 38.5°C is normal for 24–48 hours. Paracetamol in the right dose (as advised by your doctor) helps. High fever above 39°C, persistent crying, or rash warrants calling your pediatrician. Dr. Bloom can guide you through post-vaccination care in your language.
