Protecting the health of our children is every parent’s number one priority. And without a doubt, the most powerful and safe tool to do so is vaccination. Vaccines save millions of lives each year by preventing serious diseases that were once common.
If you are a parent in Panama, it is essential that you know the official vaccination schedule to ensure that your little one is protected from day one. In this guide, we present the updated schedule for 2025 and resolve the most frequently asked questions.

This schedule is based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Health (MINSA) and is the roadmap to protect your child.
Frequently Asked Questions from Parents
It is normal to have doubts. Here we answer the most common ones:
Are vaccines safe? Yes. They are one of the safest and most studied medical advances in history. Side effects are usually mild (low fever, redness in the area) and do not last long. The benefits of preventing a serious illness far outweigh the risks.
Will my baby get a fever? It is a common and normal reaction of the immune system. It is usually a low fever that is easily controlled with the medications that your pediatrician recommends.
What if I fall behind on a dose? Do not worry. The important thing is to resume the schedule as soon as possible. Talk to your pediatrician to reschedule the missed dose; it is not necessary to restart the entire schedule.
Additional and Seasonal Vaccines
In addition to the basic schedule, there are other important vaccines. The influenza vaccine, for example, is recommended annually for all children from 6 months of age, as the virus changes every year.
