Early years · the working desk

See the whole schedule against your child’s age.

The same indicative IAP-style schedule that’s on our Early Years page, laid out against a real date of birth — so instead of counting weeks in your head, you can see which age band a child is in, what has already been covered, and what is coming next.

This is a calendar, not a clinical instruction. An indicative IAP-style schedule so you know what’s coming. Your paediatrician’s chart always takes precedence — timings vary by brand, catch-up needs and local guidance. Nothing here is medical advice, and a band showing as passed is not a diagnosis of a missed dose — only your child’s own record can tell you that.

Why a calendar and not a checklist

A checklist implies someone is keeping score. This isn’t that. It exists because the schedule is written in weeks and months from birth, and doing that arithmetic while holding a baby is genuinely annoying — so the page does the counting and nothing else. What a dose was, whether it was given, and what to do about a gap all live in your child’s own record and your paediatrician’s judgement.

What the age bands mean, and why they are bands

Bands, not dates. “16–18 months” is a window, not a deadline. Real schedules flex around brand, availability, illness and catch-up plans.
Doses are numbered — DTwP/DTaP-1, -2, -3 then boosters. The numbering matters more than the calendar: a series interrupted is usually continued, not restarted, but that is a clinical call.
“Where advised” appears on some entries because the recommendation genuinely varies. Those are the ones to ask about rather than assume.
Influenza is the one entry that is annual rather than a series, which is why it reads differently from the rest.

What this page will not do

It will not tell you a dose is overdue, because it cannot know what your child has had. It will not recommend a vaccine, name a brand, or price anything. It stores nothing — no date of birth, no cookie, no server call — the arithmetic happens in your browser and disappears when you close the tab.

For catch-up schedules, contraindications, or anything about a specific child, your paediatrician is the only correct source. In India the IAP’s own published schedule and your state’s immunisation programme are the documents that govern.
