What is Tipat Chalav?

Tipat Chalav (“drop of milk”) is the Ministry of Health's free well-baby clinic, available from birth through age 6 at branches across Israel.

Services are free for all children regardless of health fund membership.

Frequently asked questions

Where do babies get vaccinated in Israel?+
Infant and toddler vaccines (birth through age 6) are given at Tipat Chalav — the Ministry of Health's free well-baby clinic network, with branches in every city and town. Your first visit should be within about two weeks of birth. School-age vaccines are administered at school. All vaccines on the national schedule are free of charge.
Is the Israeli schedule different from the US or UK schedule?+
The core vaccines are the same internationally — Hepatitis B, DTaP-IPV-Hib (pentavalent), PCV, Rotavirus, MMRV, Hepatitis A, Influenza, Tdap, and HPV — but the exact timing and number of doses can differ by country. The Israeli schedule follows Ministry of Health guidelines and is reviewed periodically. Always consult Tipat Chalav or your pediatrician for guidance specific to your child.
We made aliyah mid-schedule — are my child's previous vaccines recognized?+
Yes. Israeli health authorities generally accept documented vaccines given abroad. Bring your child's vaccination records (any language) to your first Tipat Chalav visit. The nurse will map what was given against the Israeli schedule and tell you which doses, if any, still need to be completed. You do not normally need to restart the schedule from scratch.
Are vaccines required for gan (kindergarten)?+
Israel does not currently have a statutory vaccination mandate, but many ganim (state-run and private) strongly encourage full vaccination and may request your child's immunization booklet. Up-to-date vaccination is strongly recommended by the Ministry of Health for all children attending group settings.
