If the parents have agreed to have baby immunized, the vaccination process will be started in the hospital, usually against Hepatitis B. All other vaccines are given later on. Hepatitis B immunization requires three doses, so the entire series must be completed for the vaccine to be effective. Other vaccines given later on include:

• Rotavirus
• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP)
• Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
• Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)
• Polio vaccine (IPV)
• Influenza (Flu)
• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
• Chicken Pox (Varicella)
• Hepatitis A (HAV)
• Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4)

Vaccination schedules are available from your pediatrician. Some vaccines contain common food allergens. If your child suffers from food allergies the vaccination schedule may change.
