Department of Health Philippines immunization schedule, Philippines
The Expanded Program on Immunization is the Department of Health's free vaccination programme for children in the Philippines. It covers the core infant vaccines through the first year, then continues in schools through the Bakuna Eskwela programme, which delivers the measles-rubella, tetanus-diphtheria and HPV doses by grade rather than by exact age.

Missed a dose?
If your child missed a dose or started late, most vaccines can be given on a catch-up basis. The schedule does not usually need to restart. Talk to your pediatrician, who can adjust timing safely for your child.
