    The document provides information on several common childhood vaccines including BCG, DPT, polio, hepatitis B, and measles vaccines. It notes the minimum age for receiving each vaccine, number of doses, dosing interval and route of administration. Reasons given for the recommended timing include protecting infants from TB meningitis (BCG), reducing the chance of severe pertussis (DPT), increasing protection against polio (OPV), reducing the chance of hepatitis B infection and liver disease later in life, and preventing at least 85% of measles cases (measles vaccine). The document also outlines the tetanus toxoid vaccination schedule for pregnant women, noting protection levels increase with additional doses.
