Plan your multi-dose vaccine course
Pick your vaccine and the date of dose 1. Download a calendar file with every dose date pre-loaded and reminders set for 1 week and 1 day before each appointment.
If your first dose is in the future, enter that date — the schedule still works backwards from there.
How it works
Pick & enter
Select your vaccine course and the date of dose 1. That's the only data we need.

Tap one button. The .ics file imports into your calendar with notifications 7 days and 1 day before each dose.
Your data stays on your device
- We do not send the vaccine you chose, the date you entered, or any contact details to our servers.
- The schedule is calculated in your browser. The .ics file is generated in your browser.
- If you close the tab and come back later, you will need to enter the date again — because we have not stored it.
- No account, no login, no tracking pixel on the calculator itself.
Common questions
I missed dose 2 — do I need to start over?+
Almost never. For every vaccine in this planner, being late means you just take the next dose when you can. The course does not restart. Restarting wastes a dose and offers no benefit.
Can dose 2 be earlier than the date shown?+
Sometimes — there is a minimum interval for each vaccine (shown in the notes for each dose). The planner shows the target interval, not the minimum. If you have a clinical reason to bring a dose forward (e.g. travel), book a consult and we will check whether it counts.
My schedule from the GP is different. Which do I follow?+
Always your treating clinician's schedule. This tool reflects standard ATAGI guidance — your provider may have a reason to use an accelerated, delayed or modified schedule that takes precedence.
Why isn't [vaccine] in the list?+
The planner covers multi-dose courses where the patient typically manages timing themselves. Single-dose vaccines (annual flu, COVID boosters, single-dose HPV in adolescents) don't need scheduling support. If you think a multi-dose course is missing, tell us and we'll add it.
What about reminders by email or SMS?+
Not in this version. The .ics calendar file is the most reliable cross-platform reminder (your phone's built-in calendar notifies you). Email and SMS reminders need us to store your data, which we have chosen not to do.
This planner is general information for Australian adults and is not a substitute for advice from your treating clinician. Intervals reflect target dates from the Australian Immunisation Handbook (ATAGI) and are subject to change. Always confirm your schedule at your vaccination consult. Vaccines are referred to by disease only in line with the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code.
