Hello my dear parents! π₯° I would like to share with you the latest 2025 Childhood Immunization Schedule in our country as recommended by the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines or PIDSPβ€οΈ
ππ» At the age of 1, your baby should have received the following vaccines which are mostly available at the local heath centers for FREE. These are:
- BCG x 1 dose
- Hep B x 3 - 4 doses
- Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis x 3 - 4 doses
- Inactivated polio (IPV) x 2 - 4 doses
- Oral polio (OPV) x 3 doses
- Hib x 3 - 4 doses
- Pneumonia x 3 - 4 doses
- Measles x 1 dose
- MMR x 1 - 2 doses
βΌοΈ However, other vaccines are not available at the local health centers but are available in private clinics/hospitals which are of EQUAL IMPORTANCE are the following:
- Rotavirus x 2 - 3 doses
- Flu x 2 doses
- Inactivated Hepa A x 1 dose (*2nd dose can be given at a minimum interval of 6 mos from the 1st dose)
- Varicella x 1 dose (*2nd dose is usually given at 4-6 years of age but maybe given at an earlier interval of 4 weeks to 3 mos from the 1st dose and is considered valid)
- Japanese Encephalitis x 1 dose (2nd/booster dose is given 12-24 mos from the 1st dose)
- Meningococcal x 1 - 3 doses
βοΈIn addition, one of the most LATEST guidelines that can seen in the 2025 vaccination recommendation is that RABIES PRE-EXPOSURE VACCINATION are now MANDTORY rather than recommended.
