Hello,

I can understand the concern for your baby...
Below is the detailed list of immunization for infants and children:

For Infants
BCG At birth or as early as possible till one year of age

Hepatitis B - Birth-dose - At birth or as early as possible within 24 hours

Oral Polio Vaccine i.e. OPV-0 At birth or as early as possible within the first 15 days
OPV 1, 2 & 3 At 6 weeks, 10 weeks & 14 weeks
(OPV can be given until 5 years of age)

Oral Pentavalent vaccine 1, 2 & 3 - At 6 weeks, 10 weeks & 14 weeks
(can be given until one year of age)

Rotavirus- At 6 weeks, 10 weeks & 14 weeks
(can be given until one year of age)

IPV Two fractional dose at 6 and 14 weeks of age

Measles /MR 1st Dose 9 completed months-12 months.
(can be given until 5 years of age)

JE (Japanese Encephalitis) - 9 completed months-12 months.

Vitamin A (1st dose) At 9 completed months with measles-rubella

For Children
DPT booster
Measles/ MR 2nd dose- 16-24 months

OPV Booster 16-24months

Vitamin A- (2nd to 9th dose)

Please note- this is the standard National Immunization schedule. There are a lot of technical aspects for individualized dosing, timings as well as duration. So you need to get your baby checked up in person from time to time under the Pediatrician who will be deciding regarding this and guide you accordingly...
