Childhood Immunization is very important for our children. Last year I posted about “Philippine Childhood Immunization 2011” and it served as my mommy guidelines for the vaccination schedule of my son. The information came from the Philippine Foundation for Vaccination (PFV). This post is for the awareness of parents to monitor their child’s immunization.

Thanks for sharing sis! I’ll make sure my cousins (with children) will see this..
Thanks for sharing the list. This is indeed very helpful. At least, moms with younger children will know what shots their babies need without needing to ask their pedia. In my experience kasi, the doctor did not give us a complete schedule. She just tells us to come back, say after 3 months, for a booster shot and so on.
too many. OA na. hehe. i’ve lost track of gwen’s immunization schedule sa totoo lang. thanks for sharing this list. now i know i’ve missed on a lot…;)
There are too many vaccines posted by the Philippine childhood immunization. Sometimes I think its OA. I just relied to the best recommendation of my pedia for my son like typhoid, HEPA, MMR, pneumonia.. She told me that vaccines to recommend depends on the needs and health of the child that is why some are optional.
i do not know about MMRV, Jared only got the MMR vaccine recently + will get another shot for Flu in June…That’s really one too many vaccines on that list, good thing I can rely on my pedia to tell me which ones to administer to my son, those that he actually needs. 🙂
Vaccines are very important to spare our child from diseases. When RJ was still a baby, I made sure she’s up-to-date with her vaccinations.
It’s very nice of you to share this. At least we know the types of vaccines that are available. Ykaie also didn’t get all of these, just those that are suggested by her pediatrician.
thank goodness I’m done with them, but definitely it’s a good reminder for young moms out there with little kids/babies.
Vaccines are important to babies however not all of these are affordable, the reason why more babies don’t have complete immunization.
