Questions parents ask

Austria: is the calendar the same everywhere?

Syncry shows the national calendar from BMASGPK (Impfplan Österreich). We have not compared local programmes line by line, so if your health service gives you a different date, follow it.

What if a dose was missed?

Ask your health centre or paediatrician: they decide how to catch up, based on your baby’s age and the vaccine. In the app, a missed visit stays in view, gently marked, until you record it.

How current is this calendar?

It is the 17 Sept 2026 edition from BMASGPK (Impfplan Österreich), last checked on 11 October 2026. Every week a program re-reads the official pages behind it and flags any that changed; a flagged visit says “being re-checked” until it is read again.

In the app

Austria: your baby’s own vaccine dates

Syncry dates every visit from your baby’s birth or due date, reminds you the week before, together or on your own, keeps a missed visit in view until it is done, and lets you tick off each dose as you go. When an official calendar changes, the app says so.
