Corrected age for premature babies
Babies born early are checked against their corrected age: their age counted from the date they were due, not the day they were born.
Enter the date of birth to see the corrected age.
Vaccines are given by age from birth, not corrected age, unless your baby’s doctor advises otherwise.
