IAP immunization schedule 2025 MMR 9 months repeat dose when
Here is a clear answer based on the IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) immunization schedule:
IAP Schedule - MMR Given at 9 Months
What happened
The MMR dose your baby received at 9 months is considered MMR-1 (first dose) in the IAP schedule. This is perfectly fine - IAP actually schedules MMR-1 at 9 months.
When to give the next dose (MMR-2)
MMR-2 should be given at 15 months.
According to the IAP schedule:
- MMR-1: 9 months
- MMR-2: 15 months (along with Varicella-1 and PCV booster)
So your baby needs to come back at 15 months of age for the second MMR dose.
Important note about "forgot today"
If you meant you forgot to give MMR today (at 9 months) and gave it late - that is also fine. The dose still counts as MMR-1. Just schedule MMR-2 at 15 months, OR at a minimum interval of 4 weeks after the first dose (whichever is later).
- The minimum interval between MMR-1 and MMR-2 is 4 weeks (28 days)
- However, IAP recommends waiting until 15 months for MMR-2 for optimal immune response
Summary
| Dose | Age per IAP | Minimum interval |
|---|---|---|
| MMR-1 | 9 months | - |
| MMR-2 | 15 months | At least 4 weeks after MMR-1 |
| MMR-3 | 5 years (optional, if MMR-2 given before 15 months) | - |
Note: If for any reason MMR-2 is given before 15 months, IAP recommends an optional MMR-3 at 5 years to ensure full protection.
Consult your pediatrician at the 15-month visit to administer MMR-2 along with the other due vaccines (Varicella, PCV booster).

IAP immunization schedule 2025 IPV missed dose catch-up interval
Asking for Preferences
Here is the answer for your baby's situation:
Missed IPV-3 (14 weeks) - Baby is 6-9 months old
Give IPV-3 Now (as soon as possible)
Since your baby missed IPV-3 at 14 weeks and is now 6-9 months old, you do not need to restart the series. Simply give IPV-3 now at the next doctor visit.
The key rule per IAP catch-up guidelines:
Never restart a vaccine series - just continue from where you left off.
The minimum interval between IPV-2 (10 weeks) and IPV-3 is 4 weeks, which has long been met. So IPV-3 can be given immediately.
IAP IPV Schedule - Where Your Baby Stands
| Dose | Scheduled Age | Status |
|---|---|---|
| IPV-1 | 6 weeks | ✅ Done |
| IPV-2 | 10 weeks | ✅ Done |
| IPV-3 | 14 weeks | ⚠️ Missed - give now |
| IPV Booster | 15-18 months | Pending (after IPV-3) |
After IPV-3 is Given
The booster dose should be given at 15-18 months, with a minimum gap of 6 months from IPV-3.
So if you give IPV-3 today (at ~6-9 months), the booster would be due at 15-18 months as normally scheduled - no adjustment needed.
Bottom line: Give the missed IPV-3 at your next visit (as soon as possible). Your pediatrician can administer it alongside any other due vaccines for this age. No dose needs to be repeated.
