The Jordan childhood vaccination schedule 2026 starts at birth with BCG and Hepatitis B, followed by doses at 2, 3 and 4 months (DaPT, polio, Hib, Hepatitis B, rotavirus), measles at 9 months, MMR at 1 year and 18 months, and boosters at ages 6 and 16. All national-program vaccines are free at government health centers; the official reference is your child's vaccination card from the Jordan Ministry of Health. Book a pediatrician on ClinicsJo for any questions.

Are vaccines free in Jordan?

Yes — all national-program vaccines are given free at government health centers for every child residing in Jordan, Jordanian and non-Jordanian. Some optional vaccines (chickenpox, meningitis, seasonal flu) may be available privately for a fee — ask a pediatrician.

What if we miss a dose?

No need to restart the series. The national program allows catch-up dosing — visit your health center soon to reschedule remaining doses. What matters is not leaving your child under-immunized.
