Recommended Vaccine Schedule

There is a very specific schedule of what vaccinations children are supposed to get when, and how long the interval needs to be between vaccines. The schedule is updated each year to accommodate any changes (e.g., addition of new vaccines). There are essentially three schedules: Ages 0-6 years, ages 7-18 years, and a catch-up schedule (if patients are behind on vaccines or start late). This is the approved schedule that all doctors should be using. Below are the links to the schedules.
