A dose marked “only for some babies” is not routine: the line under it says who gets it, and your midwife or paediatrician tells you if your baby does.

After that, at school age: 11 to 15 years.

Questions parents ask

Switzerland: is the calendar the same everywhere?

Syncry shows the national calendar from BAG / EKIF. 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 February 2026 edition from BAG / EKIF, 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.

Why are some doses only for some babies?

Because they depend on the pregnancy or the birth, for example a hepatitis B dose at birth when the mother carries the virus. The calendar lists them so you can ask; your midwife or paediatrician says whether one is for your baby.

In the app

Switzerland: 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.
