Frequently Asked Questions

What is the normal vaccine schedule for a newborn?

After the initial vaccines given right after birth, a newborn baby will require vaccinations at regular intervals in the hospital before discharge. The usual spread is at 2, 4, 6, 12, 15, and 18 months of age. The hospital will give you an immunisation schedule chart to use as a reference to ensure you give the vaccinations on time.

How many vaccines are given to babies?

On average, babies receive about 15 immunisations spread across 18 months. Some of these vaccines, like DTap or HepB, have multiple doses, and some vaccines are combined. Not all of them are injections, either. Your doctor can educate you on which vaccines can be combined and which ones require multiple doses.

Can we delay vaccination for babies?

Delaying your child’s immunisation is not recommended. It increases the risk of exposure to serious infections that can have a lasting impact. If you miss any vaccinations, you can always get them a few days later, with your doctor’s guidance. If you want to skip certain vaccinations, discuss the pros and cons, as well as your concerns with your doctor in detail before making a decision.

When to give BCG vaccine for newborn?

The BCG vaccine is the first vaccine a baby receives. It is usually given within 24 hours of birth, before being discharged from the hospital. For premature babies or those struggling with certain health complications, the BCG vaccine will be delayed.
