Your Child's Vaccination Schedule, Simply Explained
Vaccines protect your child from serious illness. Here's what each stage of the schedule covers — and why timing matters so much.
Immunization is one of the safest, most effective ways to protect your child. Each vaccine is timed to build protection exactly when your child needs it most.
Why timing matters
The schedule is designed around your child's developing immune system. Delaying doses leaves gaps in protection during the most vulnerable months, so staying on time truly counts.
If you've missed a dose, don't worry — catch-up schedules exist. We'll help you get back on track safely.
Making it gentle
Feeding your child before the visit, bringing a favourite toy, and staying calm yourself all help. A little cuddle and distraction go a long way.
