Child vaccination schedule
Type your child's birth date and see each vaccine visit of the UAE National Immunization Programme with its date, what is due, overdue or coming up, and tick off what is done.
Only to tell your children apart. It stays on this device.
Dates are counted from the birth date. Babies born early may have a different plan: ask the doctor.
Runs on your phone. Nothing is uploaded. The names, birth dates and ticks are saved only in this browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. "Remove this child" deletes them.
This is a reminder tool, not medical advice. The vaccination card or record from your health centre is the official record. Doses can be moved for illness, prematurity, catch-up or a change in the national schedule, and some doses differ between emirates and health centres.
What each vaccine protects against
The National Immunization Programme covers the whole country. Dubai Health Authority (DHA) runs it in Dubai, the Department of Health (DoH) in Abu Dhabi, and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) with the Emirates Health Services in the other emirates. Most visits are the same everywhere, but some doses differ: for example, DHA's 2026 guideline adds a meningococcal dose at 12 months and an RSV antibody at birth for babies born in the RSV season.
Vaccines in the national programme are given free at government health centres for children who are eligible. Bring the vaccination card to every visit. School doses are usually given at school by the school health team.
Don't start again. The national guideline says a series does not need to be restarted however long the gap: the health centre gives the missing doses as a catch-up.
Some private clinics also offer vaccines outside the national programme, such as hepatitis A. Ask your child's doctor whether they are right for your child.
