1 What is the IAP & National Immunisation Schedule?

A side-by-side reference for the Indian Academy of Pediatrics schedule and the Government of India National Immunisation Schedule, covering birth through adolescence. Both are presented as a full table and as an age-driven view that shows only what is relevant for a child of a given age, so a clinic visit does not require reading the whole chart.

2 When to use it

  • Checking which vaccines are due at a routine well-child visit
  • Comparing what the IAP schedule recommends against what the national programme provides
  • Counselling parents about optional vaccines outside the government schedule
  • Confirming dose, route and site for a vaccine before administration

3 Formula & method

The table lists each visit age against the vaccines due, with dose volume, route and injection site. The age-driven view filters the same data to the child's current age. For a child who is behind schedule, the catch-up planner should be used instead, since simply reading the next row of the routine schedule does not account for minimum intervals or age limits.

4 Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the IAP and national schedules?

The national schedule covers vaccines provided free through the Universal Immunization Programme. The IAP schedule additionally recommends vaccines that are available in the private sector, such as typhoid conjugate, hepatitis A and varicella.

Which schedule should I follow?

Both are shown so the choice stays with the treating clinician and the family. The national schedule is the minimum; the IAP schedule reflects what the academy recommends where vaccines are accessible.

Does this cover catch-up for a child who is behind?

No — the routine schedule assumes doses given on time. Use the catch-up planner for a child with missed or delayed doses, since it applies minimum intervals and age limits.

Is the schedule usable offline?

Yes. The schedules are bundled with the app rather than fetched, so they work without a connection.
