I've never figured this out: is there a vaccine for an 18-month-old? What do you think?

There is no vaccine dose on the Health Ministry's vaccination schedule specifically for 18 months — most vaccines are completed by 12 months (like MMR, chickenpox, and hepatitis A first dose). However, sometimes 18 months is used for a second hepatitis A dose or to catch up on any missed vaccines. The best thing to do is check your child's vaccination card; if an 18-month vaccine is listed there or if they missed any earlier doses, ask your family doctor for clarification.
