FAQ
Q: What if we missed a vaccination?
A: Most vaccines can be given late, so a missed dose is not a serious problem. Consult your pediatrician to create a catch-up schedule that gets your baby back on track based on their age and which doses are still needed.
Q: Should we delay vaccination if my baby has a fever?
A: If your baby has a fever of 38°C or higher, it's better to vaccinate after recovery. A mild cold without fever is fine, and you can proceed with the scheduled vaccination as planned.
Q: Is it safe to get multiple vaccines at once?
A: Yes, simultaneous vaccination following the recommended schedule is safe and effective. Giving several vaccines in one visit does not overload your baby's immune system, and it reduces the number of clinic trips needed.
Q: Is the schedule different for premature babies?
A: Premature babies follow the normal schedule based on their chronological age, not corrected age. The one exception is the BCG vaccine, which is given only once the baby weighs 2.5 kg or more.
