Recommended Pediatric Vaccine Schedule From Birth to 18 Years

Vaccines are an important part of preventing a wide range of serious, preventable and deadly illnesses. For your child to have optimal protection, pediatricians should follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended vaccination schedule. The timing of these vaccines is important to help ensure your child is protected before being exposed to an illness. The schedule also meets most school and day care requirements.

These vaccines help strengthen your child’s immune system, teach your child’s body how to react to illness and prevent the spread of illnesses. Vaccines are scientifically proven to be safe and prevent illness, but they are not always 100% able to stop an illness.

  A Norton Children’s Medical Group pediatrician can help you keep your child “on schedule” through yearly well-child checkups.
