Think of vaccines as a coat of armor for your child. To keep it shiny and strong, you have to make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date. Timely vaccinations help to prevent disease and keep your family and the community healthy. Some immunizations are given in a single shot, while others require a series of shots over a period of time.
Vaccines for children and teenagers are listed alphabetically below with their routinely recommended ages. Missed doses will be assessed by your child’s physician and given if necessary. Keep a personal record of all immunizations and bring it with you to each office visit.

These recommendations are for generally healthy children and teenagers and are for information only.

He or she may recommend additional vaccinations or schedules based on earlier immunizations and special health needs.
