Vaccination Catch-up Calculator

EMGuidance is excited to introduce South Africa's first Vaccination Catch-Up Calculator!

Credited to Professor Nicolette Du Plessis and sponsored by Sanofi, this tool helps determine vaccination schedules for children. It covers all South African EPI vaccines and can be used for children who have received no vaccinations or need a catch-up schedule.

Simply enter the patient's date of birth and any vaccinations they have already received.

Once submitted, an individualised schedule will be created, indicating the dates for the applicable vaccinations.

This calculator is based on the 2024 EPI Vaccination Schedule, which can be accessed here.
