Vaccine Schedule Generator — Your Personal Dose Calendar
Select the vaccines you need and your first-dose date — the tool generates a complete dose-by-dose calendar with real dates. Print it or screenshot it: it works as your checklist whether you finish the series in Kathmandu or continue at home.
Completing a Series Across Countries?
This is extremely common: travelers start rabies or Hepatitis series in Kathmandu, then finish in their home country or next destination. WHO-prequalified vaccines are internationally interchangeable — your stamped booklet with batch numbers and dates is accepted everywhere. Bring it to your home clinic or continue at ours before you fly.
The Vaccine Calendar
Travel vaccines have schedules — the multi-dose series that takes weeks, the boosters that expire, the timing that determines whether the protection is in place before the trip. The schedule is not bureaucratic complexity; it is the biology of how immune protection develops. The vaccine given last minute protects partially; the one given on schedule protects fully.
Vaccine timing reference
- Hepatitis A — single dose now, booster in 6–12 months
- Typhoid — injection now or 4-dose oral over a week
- Rabies — 3 doses at 0, 7, 21–28 days (for at-risk activities)
- Japanese encephalitis — 2 doses at 0 and 28 days
- Routine boosters — MMR, Tdap, flu as needed
The Partial Series Reality
The traveler who cannot complete the full series before departure is not unprotected — the partial series provides partial protection that is better than none. One dose of hepatitis A protects for the trip; two doses of rabies pre-exposure reduce post-exposure requirements. The incomplete schedule is a compromise, not a failure — and completing it in Kathmandu is possible.
The Timing
Vaccine schedule timing — the series (the Hepatitis that requires the multiple), the booster (the periodic that is needed), and the completion before the travel.
The Documentation
Vaccine documentation — the record (the yellow card or the record that is kept), the entry that may require, and the copy that is carried.
The Series Cost
Vaccine series cost — the rabies 3-dose, the Hepatitis B 3-dose that multiplies. For the complete series, the total that is budgeted.
The Catch-Up Cost
Catch-up vaccine cost — the accelerated schedule (the same doses that are condensed). For the late preparation, the cost that is similar.
The Series Cost
Vaccine series — the multi-dose (the rabies/JE/HepB that stacks). For the complete, the scheduled that is the total.
The Catch-Up
Vaccine catch-up — the accelerated (the compressed that is possible). For the last-minute, the discussed that is the plan.
What is the vaccination schedule for Nepal travel?
Hepatitis A: single dose now, booster at 6–12 months. Typhoid: injection now or 4-dose oral course. Rabies: 3 doses at days 0, 7, 21–28. Japanese encephalitis: 2 doses at days 0 and 28. The schedule shows when each dose fits relative to departure.
What if I cannot complete the series before travel?
Partial series provides partial protection — one dose of hepatitis A is effective for the trip even without the booster. For rabies, the pre-exposure series can be completed after return if needed. The incomplete series is better than no series — do not skip because you cannot finish.
How long do travel vaccines last?
Hepatitis A: 20+ years after the booster series. Typhoid injection: 2 years; oral: 5 years. Rabies: years after full series but requires post-exposure boosters regardless. Japanese encephalitis: 1+ year. The durable vaccines provide long-term coverage; the shorter ones need boosters for repeat travel.
Can I get multiple vaccines at once?
Yes — multiple vaccines can be administered at the same visit without interaction. The immunization schedule is designed for it. Side effects (arm soreness, mild fever) may be additive but not dangerous. The efficient approach is completing the series in fewer visits.
What about vaccine side effects?
Mild and temporary for most — sore arm, low-grade fever, fatigue for 1–2 days. Serious reactions are rare. Schedule vaccinations before activity-heavy days — the day before a trek is not ideal for the vaccine that may cause fever. The discomfort is the trade-off for protection.
