Child vaccination in Georgia in 2026 remains one of the key priorities of the national healthcare program. The country follows a National Immunization Schedule, and additional (paid) vaccines are also available in private clinics.
Georgia does not provide completely free healthcare for all population groups; however, mandatory childhood vaccines are provided free of charge by the state under the Universal Healthcare Program.

How Child Vaccination Is Performed
Before vaccination:
- The pediatrician checks the vaccination record.
- Medical history is reviewed (allergies, chronic conditions, reactions to previous vaccines).
- A physical examination is performed, including temperature check and skin assessment.
- After a recent viral infection (such as ARVI), it is recommended to wait 1–2 days after full recovery.
After the vaccine is administered, it is recommended to stay at the clinic for 30 minutes for observation.
Special Considerations for Premature Infants
Premature babies receive an individual vaccination schedule after consultation with a pediatrician. If vaccinations were missed, a catch-up schedule can be developed.
Vaccination and Kindergarten
The first years of life coincide with active socialization. During kindergarten attendance, children may experience frequent viral infections, which can sometimes delay vaccinations. By school age, the frequency of infections usually decreases, and the booster vaccination stage begins.
Which vaccines kindergartens usually check, and what to do with a vaccination record from another country, is covered in Vaccination for Kindergarten in Georgia.
