Creating a personalised immunisation schedule

If you create a personalised immunisation schedule for your child you'll be asked for their first name and date of birth.

You can also add this to your calendar, or download the schedule in a PDF.

This information is not retained by the website, or Te Whatu Ora, in anyway. Subject to your browser’s cookies, once you navigate away from the page all data will reset and you will need to input the information again to see a schedule.
