UAE Baby Vaccination Schedule (2026)
The UAE national childhood immunization schedule, from birth to school age, as set by MOHAP and Emirates Health Services.
The UAE schedule is set nationally by MOHAP, with Emirates Health Services, DoH Abu Dhabi and DHA Dubai. Some details (exact ages, combination vaccines used) can vary by emirate and clinic. Always confirm your child's plan with your health centre.
Dates are a guide based on the national schedule. Your clinic confirms the exact appointments.
