Vaccinations for infants and young children are the most effective proactive prevention measures, helping the body to fight many infectious diseases and reduce the risk of spreading diseases to the community.
Don’t worry — you don’t have to remember the vaccination schedule all by yourself. Your child’s doctor will guide you through the process. City International Hospital (CIH) shares the types of vaccination your baby needs and when is the time that your baby should get it.
An outline of the recommended vaccination timeline is shown below, for babies From Birth to Two Years Old. This table covers the basics of the the Ministry of Health’s recommended vaccination schedule for babies From Birth to Two Years Old. Some children may need a different schedule, based on their health conditions.
