IAP Here’s the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) Immunization Schedule presented in a tabular format similar to the one in your image: IAP Immunization Schedule (2024) - Detailed Format Vaccine Age of Route Site Dose General Notes Administration BCG Birth Intradermal Left deltoid 0.1 mL Should be given at birth or as early as possible till 1 year of age.

Hepatitis B Birth, 6 weeks, IM Anterolateral thigh 0.5 mL First dose at 14 weeks birth; additional doses follow schedule. DTaP 6 weeks, 10 Deep IM Anterolateral aspect of 0.5 mL Acellular DTaP weeks, 14 weeks thigh preferred due to fewer side effects. IPV 6 weeks, 10 IM Anterolateral aspect of 0.5 mL IPV is preferred weeks, 14 thigh in combination weeks, Booster with other at 16-18 months vaccines for enhanced protection. Hib 6 weeks, 10 IM Anterolateral aspect of 0.5 mL Administered as (Haemophilus weeks, 14 weeks thigh a combination influenzae type vaccine with b) DTaP/IPV. Rotavirus 6 weeks, 10 Oral - 1.5 mL Brand-specific weeks, 14 weeks doses; typically 3-dose schedule. PCV 6 weeks, 10 IM Anterolateral aspect of 0.5 mL Reduces the (Pneumococcal weeks, 14 thigh incidence of Conjugate weeks, Booster pneumococcal Vaccine) at 15 months disease significantly. Measles- 9 months, 16-24 SC Right upper arm 0.5 mL Measles and Rubella (MR) months rubella protection; 2 doses recommended. MMR (Measles, 15 months, 4-6 SC Right upper arm 0.5 mL MMR vaccine Mumps, years administered Rubella) after 15 months; booster recommended. Varicella 15 months, 4-6 SC Right upper arm 0.5 mL 2 doses needed; (Chickenpox) years first at 15 months and booster dose at 4-6 years.

TT/Tdap 10 years, 16 IM Deltoid 0.5 mL Tdap preferred years over TT for added pertussis protection in older children and adolescents. Key Notes: DTaP (acellular) is preferred over DPT (whole-cell) due to fewer adverse reactions. HPV vaccine is highly recommended for adolescents, especially females, for cancer prevention. PCV and Rotavirus vaccines are included to prevent severe pneumonia and gastroenteritis, respectively. MMR is given instead of standalone measles and rubella vaccines in private settings to include mumps protection. This IAP schedule provides comprehensive protection against a broad range of infectious diseases, making it the preferred choice in private pediatric practice in India.
