Childhood vaccination and check-up schedule in Ireland, by age

What is coming for your child in Ireland, and when: the routine vaccines and screening checks delivered by your GP and the HSE public health nurse, in age order from birth to 18. It is the same schedule the app uses to remind you to book.

Optional. The table adds an expected date to every row and marks the next visit. Nothing is sent; it runs in your browser.

This page is a reminder to book, not a medical record and not medical advice. Ages follow the official publication as of the date shown; what your child actually needs is decided at the clinic.

How to read the schedule

Each row is one visit: the age it is planned for and what happens in it, vaccines and screening checks together, because both need an appointment. Where the official schedule gives an age window (12 to 15 months, say) the table places the visit at the start of the window, so a reminder arrives before it closes rather than after. Booster doses appear at the age they are given, not next to the first dose.

We missed a date. Do we start over?

Usually not. An interrupted series is completed from where it stopped, on a catch-up plan the clinic sets. What matters is not to delay the catch-up: the younger the child, the more a gap without protection counts. Note what has been done and bring the record to the next visit.

Worth asking at the visit

Whether any doses are missing against your record, when the next one is due, and whether the schedule has changed since last time: national schedules are revised every few years, new vaccines are added and doses move. The table on this page was taken from the official source on the date shown below; the clinic is always the current word.
