Infant & Young Child (birth-age 6)

This is the schedule of vaccines recommended for healthy children from birth through age 6 years.  All childhood vaccines are given as a series of 2 or more doses. Each vaccine dose is recommended at a specific age, but the schedule has some flexibility.  For example, some vaccines can be given over a range of ages.  Other vaccines come in a combination form, so one injection (shot) can provide protection against many diseases.  Vaccine recommendations are based on when a child is at highest risk for the different diseases and at what ages vaccines work best.

Some illnesses or health conditions indicate that you may need to delay or not get some vaccines for your child. Talk to your child’s health care provider and see the Health Conditions area for more information.

If you have more questions about childhood immunization, read the "Schedule Explained" tab, see the CDC Parent’s Guide to Childhood Immunization, or ask your child’s health care provider.
