Routine (statutory) individual immunization for children

In order to prevent the outbreak and spread of infectious diseases, we carry out routine vaccinations (vaccination based on the Preventive Vaccinations Act).

The Hib vaccine and the quadrivalent (DPT-IPV) vaccine, which are administered from 2 months of age, will be changed to the pentavalent (DPT-IPV-Hib) vaccine. In addition, the pneumococcal vaccination for children will change from a 13-valent to a 15-valent.
Note: For details on each vaccination, please see below.

The city is currently accepting applications for "Diphtheria, whooping cough, acute Poliomyelitis ( Kaihakuiyuen ) The "vaccination against polio, tetanus and Hib infection" is called the "pentavalent vaccination."
Note: If you have already received the 4-in-1 vaccine or the Hib vaccine, you will continue to receive the 4-in-1 vaccine and the Hib vaccine. Please note that in principle, you cannot switch to the 5-in-1 vaccine midway through your vaccination.
