A. At 1 year 3 months (15 months) of age, your baby should receive certain vaccinations as part of the routine immunization schedule. Here are the vaccines typically recommended for this age: 1. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccine This vaccine is typically given in two doses: one at 9 months and the second at 15 months. It protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. 2. Varicella (Chickenpox) Vaccine The second dose of the chickenpox vaccine is usually given between 12 to 15 months of age. 3. Hepatitis A Vaccine The first dose is given between 12 to 23 months, with a second dose typically given 6 months after the first. 4. Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV13) If your child hasn't received the final dose, the PCV13 vaccine should be given at this stage. It protects against pneumococcal infections. 5. Hib Vaccine (Haemophilus Influenza Type B) If your child has not yet received the final dose, it is usually administered at 15 months. 6. Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTP) Vaccine The 4th dose is usually given between 15 to 18 months. 7. Polio Vaccine (IPV) The 4th dose of the polio vaccine is typically given at 15 months. Additional Notes: If your baby has not yet received the previous doses of any of the above vaccines, your pediatrician may adjust the schedule based on the child’s vaccination history. Always consult with your pediatrician to ensure that your child is up-to-date on vaccinations and to address any concerns about specific vaccines. Regular checkups and following the vaccination schedule are crucial to ensure your child is protected from various infectious diseases.
