Baby's first vaccines: the schedule to know
The first year's vaccination schedule includes several appointments. Knowing it ahead of time helps you plan and worry less.
The main milestones
- 2 months: first round of several vaccines (following your country's current recommendations)
- 4 months: booster of the same vaccines
- 11 months: second booster, often combined with other vaccines
- 12 months: vaccine against certain childhood illnesses, depending on the local schedule
What to expect after a shot
A mild fever, crying, or a bit of irritability in the 24 to 48 hours after the shot are common and normal. A local reaction at the injection site (redness, a small bump) usually clears up within a few days.
The right move
Keep the health record up to date and ask the pediatrician or midwife all your questions at appointments: the exact schedule varies by country and is updated regularly.
