Two schedules that run side by side
Indonesia has the government programme vaccines, free at puskesmas and posyandu (Hepatitis B, BCG, Polio, DTP-HB-Hib, PCV, Rotavirus, Measles-Rubella, JE in endemic areas) and the IDAI recommended schedule, which adds optional vaccines such as Influenza, Varicella, Hepatitis A and Typhoid. JejakSiKecil uses the IDAI 2023 schedule as the basis of the Jadwal Vaksin tab, so you see both in one list.
The rhythm of the first two years
- Birth: Hepatitis B 1 and Polio 0 before discharge, BCG by 1 month at the latest.
- 2, 3, 4 months: the DTP-Hib-Hepatitis B-Polio series; PCV and Rotavirus at 2, 4 and 6 months.
- 6 and 7 months: first Influenza (two doses 4 weeks apart), then yearly.
- 9 months: MR (measles-rubella) and JE.
- 12 to 18 months: Varicella, Hepatitis A, PCV booster, then the DTP-Hib-Polio booster and MR/MMR at 18 months.
- 24 months: Typhoid, repeated every 3 years.
Before you go
Bring the KIA book or vaccination record. Make sure the child has no high fever; a mild cough or cold is not a reason to postpone. Feed before the appointment so the child is settled. Dress in clothes that open easily at the thigh (infants) or upper arm (older children).
Afterwards
Mild fever, fussiness and swelling at the injection site for 1 to 2 days are normal reactions. A cool compress on the site and weight-based paracetamol if uncomfortable. Breastfeeding during or right after the injection is proven to reduce pain.
After the visit, mark the dose Sudah in Tumbuh → Jadwal Vaksin with the batch number and facility; this record automatically becomes an immunisation history you can export for school or travel.
