The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Vaccines are the most effective way to protect babies from disease. Turkey follows a routine vaccination schedule established by the Ministry of Health. Hepatitis B vaccine's first dose is given at birth. At 2 months, tuberculosis (BCG), five-in-one combination (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio, Hib), and pneumococcal vaccines' first doses begin. The schedule continues at regular intervals at 4, 6, 12, and 18 months. The timing and number of doses for each vaccine is determined based on the baby's age.

On vaccination day, the baby may develop a mild fever, fussiness, or swelling at the injection site — this is normal. However, any vaccine delay or change must be discussed with the pediatrician. You can view your baby's vaccination record and the Ministry of Health's current schedule at your nearest Family Health Center or from your doctor.
