Where this comes from

The plan follows the Expert Panel Consensus Statements on Vaccination for Adults with AIRD in India (Indian Rheumatology Association Vaccine group, Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2024), which covers influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis A and B, recombinant shingles, rabies, tetanus and yellow fever vaccines. COVID-19, HPV and some travel vaccines were outside its scope — your doctor will advise on those.

This is a self-help tool, not a diagnosis. It helps you keep track and talk to your doctor. If you feel very unwell, have a high fever, chest pain, sudden weakness or vision loss, seek medical care straight away.
