Ireland: the baby vaccination calendar
In short
- From birth to 4 to 5 years, the calendar has 6 visits.
- First visit, 2 months: 6-in-1 (DTaP/IPV/Hib/HepB), PCV (pneumococcal), MenB, Rotavirus (oral).
- This is the national calendar published by HSE (Primary Childhood Immunisation Schedule).
- Your health centre sets the actual appointments. If its date differs from a calendar, follow your health centre.
What is given at each age?
These are the visits for a baby born now. An older child may follow an earlier edition of the calendar.
After that, at school age: 12 to 14 years.

Questions parents ask
Ireland: is the calendar the same everywhere?
Syncry shows the national calendar from HSE (Primary Childhood Immunisation Schedule). 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 1 Oct 2024 edition from HSE (Primary Childhood Immunisation Schedule), 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.
Ireland: 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.
