Immunization schedule for babies and children in Canada

This table lists the routine vaccinations for babies and young children in Canada, by the age at which each dose is usually given. It follows the PHAC routine immunization schedule published by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Each province and territory sets its own schedule, and they differ in the combination vaccines and the number of infant doses. The table follows the national recommendation. Check your province or territory's schedule with your health care provider.
