Immunizations for Children

Recommended Immunization Schedules for Infants, Children and Adolescents

Parents, here are some resources to help keep your children and adolescents on track with their immunizations. Find parent-friendly immunization schedules for infants and children (birth to 6 years) here. Easy-to-read recommended immunization schedules for preteens and teenagers (ages 7 to 18 years) can be found here. Concerned your child behind in their immunizations? Review CDC’s immunization catch up schedule or use CDC’s vaccine assessment tool to learn which vaccines your children and adolescents (from birth through 18 years old) may need. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions about immunizations your child may need.
