New parents in Singapore are handed a lot of information in the first few weeks after birth, and the vaccination schedule is one of the pieces that is easy to lose track of once the newborn haze sets in. The Singapore baby vaccine schedule follows the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule, a set timeline of vaccines given from birth through the pre-school years to protect against diseases that used to be common causes of childhood illness.

Knowing what is due and when matters for two reasons: missing a dose delays the protection it is meant to provide, and several preschools and childcare centres in Singapore ask for immunisation records before enrolment.

How the Schedule Is Structured

The schedule is organised around a handful of checkpoints: birth, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 to 18 months, and a booster round before primary school. Each checkpoint covers one or more vaccines, some given as combination injections to reduce the number of jabs needed at a single visit.

What Is Covered in the First Year

The first year covers the bulk of the schedule. Hepatitis B and BCG are typically given at birth or shortly after. The 2, 4, and 6 month visits cover diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Hib, and pneumococcal disease, usually as combination vaccines. Measles, mumps, and rubella protection typically starts around 12 months.

Boosters and Staying on Track

Several of these vaccines require booster doses later in childhood to maintain protection, spaced out through the toddler years and again before primary school entry. A missed dose is not usually a crisis, but it does need to be caught up rather than skipped, since the schedule is built around giving protection before a child’s exposure risk increases.

Following the Schedule at Lion Health

The Singapore baby vaccine schedule at Lion Health is tracked against each child’s actual visit history, so parents do not have to keep a separate record or remember every date themselves. The clinic flags upcoming and overdue doses at each visit and can advise on catch-up scheduling if a child has fallen behind.

For Singapore parents who want a clear, personalised view of what is due and when, Lion Health’s paediatric vaccination service keeps families on schedule without the guesswork.
