Vaccinations follow the indian academy of pediatrics (iap) schedule which is comprehensive and covers everything the government nis schedule covers, plus several optional vaccines. Our tracker generates a personalized schedule for your baby based on date of birth. We follow the IAP 2024 immunization schedule. Tap each vaccine after your baby receives it to mark complete and track the next dose due dates.

💉 About the Indian vaccination schedule

IAP schedule includes ALL vaccines (government plus optional). The government UIP (Universal Immunization Programme) schedule is free at government hospitals and Anganwadi centres but excludes some IAP-recommended vaccines (like Hepatitis A, MMR 2, Varicella, Influenza). Private pediatricians follow the IAP schedule. Cost for full private vaccination can be rupees 30,000 to 75,000 over the first 2 years. Some insurance plans cover vaccinations. Government schemes like Mission Indradhanush expand free coverage.

💉 Baby Vaccination Schedule Tracker

India IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) 2024 immunisation schedule. Personalised by your baby's birth date

Step-by-Step Guide

How to use this tool

This tracker uses the official IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) 2024 vaccination schedule. The gold standard for baby immunisation in India. It takes 30 seconds to set up.

  1. 1
    Enter baby's date of birth

    This is the foundation of the schedule. All vaccine due dates are calculated from your baby's birth date. Even if your baby is already a few months old, the tool shows you what's been due and what's still pending.

  2. 2
    Click "Generate My Baby's Vaccine Schedule"

    Your complete personalised schedule appears instantly. You'll see every vaccine from birth to 12 years, with the exact due date for each based on your baby's age.

  3. 3
    Tick off vaccines as they are given

    After each doctor visit, tick the checkboxes next to the vaccines your baby received. This is saved automatically on your device so your record is always up to date.

  4. 4
    Look for the orange "Due Soon" badge

    Vaccines that are due within the next 2 weeks are highlighted in orange. This helps you plan your next paediatrician appointment before a vaccine becomes overdue.

💡 Catch-up vaccines are possible

If you have missed some vaccines due to illness, travel, or any other reason, do not worry. IAP has an approved catch-up schedule. Your paediatrician can administer missed vaccines in a compressed timeline. No vaccine is truly "too late" to start.

⚠️ This schedule is a guide only

Always confirm vaccine dates and brands with your paediatrician. Some vaccines may vary by brand availability or your baby's specific health conditions. Government hospitals (under NIS) and private paediatricians may follow slightly different schedules. The IAP schedule is the recommended standard for private healthcare.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The National Immunisation Schedule (NIS) provided free at government hospitals includes essential vaccines like BCG, OPV, DPT, Hepatitis B, Measles, and Vitamin A. The IAP schedule includes additional vaccines like Hib, PCV, Rotavirus, Varicella, Typhoid Conjugate, and Hepatitis A which provide broader protection but are given in private clinics.
This is very common. A mild fever is not a reason to skip vaccines. But if your paediatrician postponed due to illness, reschedule within 1-2 weeks. For most vaccines, the catch-up interval is 4 weeks between doses. Ask your doctor for the catch-up schedule specific to which vaccine was missed.
Vaccines on the government NIS schedule (BCG, OPV, DPT, Hepatitis B, Measles) are free at government hospitals and PHCs. Vaccines on the IAP schedule only (Hib, PCV, Rotavirus, Varicella, Typhoid Conjugate, Hepatitis A, HPV) are paid vaccines available at private hospitals, typically costing ₹500-₹5,000 per dose depending on the vaccine.
It is not legally mandatory but is strongly recommended by IAP. Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhoea and dehydration in infants in India. The vaccine is highly effective and available as oral drops, not an injection. It must be given before 8 months of age to be eligible.
Healthcare in India

How vaccination scheduling works in India

Indian healthcare for babies works on two parallel systems. Middle class families typically have a private pediatrician on call. Apollo, Fortis, Max, Manipal, Cloudnine have pediatric specialty centres in metros. Smaller cities have local trusted pediatricians who often see three generations of the same family. Government Primary Health Centres provide free care for everyone. Consultation fees at private pediatricians range from rupees 400 to 1500 in metros. Government hospitals are free, queues can be long. Many private pediatricians give WhatsApp consultations for after hours stuff. This is uniquely convenient and worth asking about when picking your pediatrician. The IAP has been updating its guidelines to match international evidence on fever management, medication choice, and the limited role of sponging.

📞 Emergency contacts in India

For emergencies in India: 112 (national emergency) or 102 (ambulance). For non-emergency child health concerns, call your pediatrician directly. Many hospital chains like Apollo, Fortis. Also Max offer 24/7 telephone consultations for registered patients.

Context for Indian families

What Indian moms actually deal with

Indian families bring extra layers of advice when baby is sick. Maternal grandmother arrives within hours, often with old remedies. Mother in law has opinions. The aunties WhatsApp group has more opinions. The neighbour with no medical training also has thoughts. Most of this advice is well meaning. Some is outdated. None should replace your pediatrician. Use traditional comfort measures like haldi milk for older babies, tulsi water, light steam, these are fine alongside medical care. Just not as replacements when actual medication is needed. The cultural pressure to refuse modern medication is real and sometimes harmful. Crocin and Calpol when properly dosed are among the safest pediatric medications studied. The simple line "doctor said this is necessary" usually settles cultural disagreements about giving paracetamol.

Indian-specific questions

The Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) provides free vaccines at government hospitals and Anganwadi centres but covers only the core schedule: BCG, OPV, DTP, Hepatitis B, Hib, IPV, Rotavirus, PCV (limited states), MMR, JE, DPT booster. The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) schedule adds: Hepatitis A, MMR 2 dose, Varicella (Chickenpox), Influenza (annual), Typhoid Conjugate, HPV for girls. Private pediatricians follow IAP. The IAP schedule is more comprehensive but costs more. Many middle-class Indian families do hybrid: government for free vaccines, private pediatrician for additional ones.
It depends on the specific vaccine. Some are clearly worth the cost: Hepatitis A (rotavirus and Hepatitis A combined cost can be rupees 8,000 to 15,000 in private but provide significant protection). Influenza (annual, around rupees 500 to 1,500) prevents missed school days. Varicella (chickenpox, around rupees 1,500) prevents the disease that can scar children. PCV is now free in many states. Some are optional based on individual risk: Meningococcal (only if travelling). Discuss with your pediatrician which optional vaccines are worth it for your family situation.
Mission Indradhanush is the Government of India initiative to fully immunize all children under 2 and pregnant women, targeting areas with low immunization coverage. It expanded the UIP schedule and reaches remote rural areas. The latest version (Intensified Mission Indradhanush 5.0) targets districts with poor coverage. If you live in a remote area, ask your local Anganwadi centre about Mission Indradhanush schedules. Even families in cities can use Mission Indradhanush for free vaccines at government PHC/CHC. The scheme has reduced vaccination gaps significantly since 2014.
