Your baby will have many vaccinations during the first year.

In the first months of life, they will benefit from the mother’s antibodies, but these are ineffective against some infectious diseases, such as whooping cough. Vaccinations therefore immunise your child against short- and long-term illnesses, hence the necessity of booster jabs.

Vaccinations calendar 2007

[INSERT LOCAL TABLE]

If your child is late in starting the vaccinations calendar shown, you don’t need to start the entire programme for vaccinations requiring repeated injections. Simply start the programme at the stage at which it was interrupted and complete the vaccination by giving your child the number of jabs required for their age.
