Immunization schedules

Immunization schedules outline the timing for vaccines to protect individuals and communities from preventable diseases. These schedules specify which vaccines to receive, at what ages, and sometimes with follow-up doses for added immunity. They are carefully designed based on scientific evidence to ensure optimal protection, especially for infants, children, and vulnerable groups. Following the recommended schedule helps prevent outbreaks and keeps populations healthy. Healthcare providers and parents use these guidelines to coordinate timely vaccinations, ensuring individuals develop immunity early in life and maintain it over time.
