To ensure children do not succumb to dangerous diseases, Canada and many other countries have implemented a schedule of vaccinations for babies and young children. Vaccinations for routine child immunizations are usually given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 15 to 18 months. Boosters are given before a child enters kindergarten, at age 4 or 5. Below, is the recommended vaccination schedule for babies and children.
Symbols with brackets around them imply that these doses may not be required, depending upon the age of the child or adult.
Please note that the information provided on these pages serves as a guideline only and is by no means complete. To ensure that you and your family receive the appropriate vaccinations in a timely manner, please consult your doctor.
