Vaccinations for children are divided into essential routine vaccines and additional recommended ones. Routine vaccines include those for diseases such as polio, DPT, measles, and hepatitis B, which are important for basic protection. Additional vaccines, such as rotavirus, pneumococcal, influenza, and hepatitis A, provide additional protection against common infections. Following the national immunisation schedule helps ensure timely coverage. A paediatrician can guide the full schedule based on your child's age.

At 2 years of age, most primary vaccinations are already complete, but some booster doses may be due depending on the schedule followed. Vaccines like DPT booster, polio booster, and sometimes typhoid or hepatitis A may be recommended. The exact requirement can vary based on previous immunisation history. It is important to check the vaccination record and follow the recommended schedule. Consult a paediatrician to ensure your child's vaccinations are up to date.

Yes, the flu vaccine is suitable and recommended for a 4-year-old child to help protect against seasonal influenza. It can reduce the risk of infection and complications, especially in young children. The dose and type depend on previous vaccination history and health status. It is usually given once a year before the flu season. A paediatrician can guide the correct schedule and dose.
