Dear Parents,

Congratulations on taking care of your little one so well. You should be proud.
Taking care of your baby starts with one very important thing,
That is vaccination.
Let me break down the must-know baby vaccines really quick. Go ahead, take note.
First up, BCG at birth shields against tuberculosis.
Next comes Hepatitis B – Given at birth, 6 weeks, and 6 months to prevent hepatitis B infection.
Then there’s OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine): for protection from polio with doses at birth, 6, 10, and 14 weeks.
Let’s not forget the Pentavalent vaccine – a combo guard against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, and Hib at 6, 10, and 14 weeks.
The Rotavirus vaccine at the same intervals tackles diarrhoea.
PCV fights pneumococcal infections at 6, 14 weeks, and 9 months.
Measles-Rubella vaccine at 9 months and between 16-24 months.
And don’t forget Vitamin A supplements starting at 9 months!
While most vaccines are safe, but some mild side effects like fever or irritability can happen.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
For any questions or doubts, Apollo doctors and our supportive community are always here for you.
