Birth

Before leaving the hospital or birthing center, your baby receives the first of 3 doses of the vaccine that protects against Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B virus can cause chronic swelling of the liver and possible lifelong complications. It’s important to protect infants and young children from hepatitis B because they are more likely than adults to develop incurable chronic (long term) infection that can result in liver damage and liver cancer.

1 to 2 months

Protect your baby by providing immunity early in life. Starting at 1 to 2 months of age, your baby receives the following vaccines to develop immunity from potentially harmful diseases:

4 months

Protect your baby by providing immunity early in life. Stay on track with the recommended vaccine schedule. At 4 months of age, your baby receives the following vaccines to develop immunity from potentially harmful diseases:

6 months

Protect your baby by providing immunity early in life. Stay on track with the recommended vaccine schedule. At 6 months of age, your baby receives the following vaccines to develop immunity from potentially harmful diseases:

7-11 months

There are usually no vaccinations scheduled between 7 and 11 months of age. However, if your baby has missed an earlier vaccination, now is a good time to “catch up.”

Babies 6 months and older should receive flu vaccination every flu season.

12-23 months

By following the recommended schedule and fully immunizing your child by 2 years of age, your child should be protected against 14 vaccine preventable diseases. Between 12 and 23 months of age, your child receives the following vaccines to continue developing immunity from potentially harmful diseases:

Additionally, children should receive flu vaccination every flu season.

2 to 3 years

Between 2 and 3 years of age, your child should visit the doctor once a year for check-ups.

Additionally, children should receive flu vaccination every flu season.

4 to 6 years - Kindergarten

  • Chickenpox (varicella vaccine)
  • Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP vaccine)
  • Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR vaccine)
  • Polio (IPV vaccine)
  • Flu (flu vaccine) *optional

7-10 years

  • Flu (flu vaccine - yearly) *optional
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) *optional (9 - 10 years of age)

11 to 12 years - Middle School

  • Meningococcal disease (meningococcal conjugate vaccine)
  • Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap vaccine)
  • Flu (flu vaccine) *optional

13 to 18 years High School

  • Meningococcal disease (meningococcal conjugate vaccine)
  • Meningococcal B (serogroup B meningococcal vaccine) *optional (required for most colleges)
  • Flu (flu vaccine) *optional

19 to 26 years

In addition to seasonal flu (influenza) vaccine and Td or Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), you should also get HPV vaccine, which protects against the human papillomaviruses that cause most cervical, anal, and other cancers, as well as genital warts, if you were not vaccinated at a younger age (HPV vaccination is routinely recommended at age 11 or 12 years). HPV vaccination is also recommended for adults through age 26 years (27 to 45 years – consult your physician).

Some vaccines may be recommended for adults because of particular job or school-related requirements, health conditions, lifestyle or other factors. Some states require students entering colleges and universities to be vaccinated against certain diseases like meningitis due to increased risk among college students living in residential housing.

27 to 60 years

All adults need a seasonal flu (influenza) vaccine every year. Flu vaccine is especially important for people with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, and older adults.

Every adult should get the Tdap vaccine once if they did not receive it as an adolescent to protect against pertussis (whooping cough), and then a Td (tetanus, diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years. In addition, women should get the Tdap vaccine each time they are pregnant, preferably at 27 through 36 weeks.

Healthy adults aged 50 years and older should get a zoster vaccine to prevent shingles and the complications from the disease.

Some vaccines may be recommended for adults because of particular job or school-related requirements, health conditions, lifestyle or other factors.

60 years and up

In addition to seasonal flu (influenza) vaccine and Td or Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), people 65 years and older should also get:

  • Pneumococcal vaccines, which protect against pneumococcal disease, including infections in the lungs and bloodstream (recommended for all adults over 65 years old, and for adults younger than 65 years who have certain chronic health conditions)
  • Zoster vaccine, which protects against shingles (recommended for adults 50 years or older)
  • RSV Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious. Infants and older adults are more likely to develop severe RSV and need hospitalization.

Vaccinations during Pregnancy

Tdap

The CDC recommends that women get the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine during each pregnancy, preferably between 27 and 36 weeks gestation, regardless of when they last had the shot to pass protection to their baby against whooping cough (pertussis). For more information, please visit: https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/pregnant/mom/get-vaccinated.html

The CDC also recommends family members and caregivers get the Tdap vaccine to provide indirect protection to their babies. When your baby’s family members and caregivers get a whooping cough vaccine they are not only protecting their own health but also forming a “cocoon” of disease protection around the baby during the first few months of life.

Encourage others to get a whooping cough vaccine at least 2 weeks before meeting your baby if they are not up-to-date with their whooping cough vaccines.

Flu

Pregnant people are more likely to have severe illness from flu, possibly due to changes in immune, heart, and lung functions during pregnancy.

Make sure to receive your yearly flu vaccine —it’s the best way for a pregnant woman to protect against the flu and protect the baby for several months after birth from flu-related complications.

RSV Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious. Infants and older adults are more likely to develop severe RSV and need hospitalization.
