What is it?
Your child's vaccination card is reviewed and the next vaccines and their timing are planned. If any doses are missing or delayed, a catch-up plan is prepared.
Information is also given about vaccines outside the national schedule; whether they are needed is considered according to age, health and living conditions. A short examination is done before vaccination.
What to expect afterwards and when to contact a doctor is shared in writing; each child's response to a vaccine can differ.
Who is it assessed for?
- Families who want to keep the schedule on track
- Children arriving from abroad or with incomplete records
- Children with delayed or unfinished doses
- Families seeking information about optional vaccines

Questions
Can my child be vaccinated with a mild cold?
This is decided at the examination on the day. Mild complaints without fever often do not require postponing, but the decision rests with your doctor.
What happens with delayed doses?
A catch-up plan suitable for the child's age is prepared.
What should I watch for afterwards?
The written information lists signs to monitor. In case of reduced consciousness or difficulty breathing, call 112 without delay.
