IAP Immunization Schedule (2024)
-
BCG Vaccine: Administered at birth or within the first year, given intradermally in the left deltoid; dose is 0.1 mL.
-
OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine): First dose at birth followed by doses at 6 and 10 weeks; given orally in 2 drops.
-
Hepatitis B Vaccine: Initial dose at birth, followed by additional doses at 6 and 14 weeks; administered intramuscularly (IM) in the anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL each).
-
DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis): Given at 6, 10, and 14 weeks via deep IM injection in the anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL), acellular form preferred for fewer side effects.
-
IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine): Recommended at 6, 10, and 14 weeks via IM in the anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL); preferred in combination with other vaccines for better immunity.
-
Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b): Administered at 6, 10, and 14 weeks via IM in the anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL), typically given as a combination vaccine with DTaP/IPV.
-
Rotavirus Vaccine: Given at 6, 10, and 14 weeks orally (1.5 mL), with a brand-specific 3-dose schedule.
-
PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine): Administered at 6, 10, and 14 weeks via IM in the anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL), effectively reduces pneumococcal disease incidence.
-
Measles-Rubella: First dose at 9 months and a second dose between 16-24 months; administered subcutaneously (SC) in the right upper arm (0.5 mL).
-
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): Given at 15 months and at 4-6 years via SC in the right upper arm (0.5 mL); a booster is recommended after 15 months.
-
Varicella (Chickenpox): First dose at 15 months and a booster at 4-6 years via SC in the right upper arm (0.5 mL); 2 doses are required.
-
Hepatitis A: Administered at 12 months; options include a single dose or a two-dose schedule (12 months & 18 months) depending on the vaccine type; IM in the anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL).
-
Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine (TCV): Recommended single dose for ages 9-12 months, with a booster at 2 years via IM in the deltoid (0.5 mL).
-
Influenza Vaccine: Administered annually starting at 6 months via IM in the deltoid (0.5 mL); dose may vary based on age and vaccination status.
-
DTaP Booster: Given at 16-18 months and again at 4-6 years via IM in the deltoid or anterolateral thigh (0.5 mL) to maintain immunity; often combined with IPV and Hib if not previously administered separately.
-
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccine: Recommended for ages 9-14 (2 doses, 6 months apart) or 15 years and older (3 doses); administered IM in the deltoid (0.5 mL) for cervical cancer prevention in females.
