Vaccines for Your Children

Vaccines help prevent disease. Babies born in the United States may have their
first vaccines right after birth. Future vaccines are given at well child check-ups
with your childs doctor or at a local health department. Vaccines are needed for
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) visits or for when children enroll in school.
Vaccines are also called immunizations. They are often given as injections or shots
with a needle. Vaccines are either given as a single dose or as several doses given
over time. The full number of doses for each vaccine must be completed for the
vaccine to protect your child from the disease.
The below vaccine schedule is recommended for children birth to 6 years. If your
child has not had these vaccines, check with your childs doctor or local health
department to get the needed vaccines.
