					| Thank you for your inquiry.   This is a tricky one to answer - because a) different countries have (sometimes vastly) different vaccination requirements (which are not the same as recommendations) and b) with children we usually advise sticking to the requirements / recommendations of the home country and adding 'extras' as necessary depending on local risks and the epidemiology of local diseases.   Having said that - and with the proviso that you need to discuss the recommendations with your child's doctor as to what he/she may think is most suitable given the patient - the following should serve as a guide.   Hope this helps   IMMUNISATION SCHEDULE FOR CHILDREN (2000)
