Your Newborn's First Year: A Simple Guide to the Vaccination Schedule

India's Universal Immunization Programme lays out a fairly clear schedule for a baby's first year.

At birth: BCG, OPV dose 0, and Hepatitis B birth dose. At 6, 10, and 14 weeks: OPV, Pentavalent, Rotavirus, and PCV. At 9 months: Measles-Rubella (MR) and Vitamin A supplementation typically begin.

This is a general outline, not a substitute for your paediatrician's specific recommendations. Dr. Randhir Singh and our paediatric team track this schedule for every child under our care.

The best approach is simple: keep the vaccination card given at birth, bring it to every visit, and let your paediatrician manage the specifics.
