Childhood Immunization Schedule
Childhood Immunization Schedule
Vaccines work best when they are given at certain ages. For example, measles vaccine is not usually given to children until they are at least a year old. If it is given earlier it might not work as well. For vaccines requiring multiple doses, the doses should not be given too close together.
This chart shows the routine childhood immunization schedule for the United States. It shows what vaccines are recommended and the ages at which they should be given. A bar spanning several ages means the dose may be given at any time during that age range. For example, the 3rd dose of polio vaccine may be given any time between 6 and 18 months.
These are the recommended ages for vaccine doses, but the schedule is flexible. If a child doesn’t get a dose of vaccine at the recommended age, he can catch up later. Sometimes a child needs to get a dose earlier than the recommended age. Within limits, this can be done too. Your provider can give you more information.
This schedule is updated yearly. A more detailed version is available online at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/child-schedule.htm, or contact us.
