New parents in New Town often ask which vaccines their child needs and when they're due.
Understanding the childhood vaccination schedule helps protect your child from preventable diseases:
→ Birth to 6 weeks covers BCG, Hepatitis B, and oral polio vaccine as foundational immunity.
→ 6 weeks to 15 months includes multiple doses of DPT, Hib, rotavirus, and pneumococcal vaccines.
→ 15 months to 5 years requires boosters for DPT, polio, MMR, and varicella for lasting protection.
→ Missing doses creates immunity gaps; catch-up schedules can address delays without restarting the series.
At The Newtown Clinic near Axis Mall, our pediatricians follow the IAP recommended immunization schedule and maintain vaccination records. Serving families across New Town, Salt Lake, and Rajarhat.
