The best resource for your child’s proper immunization schedule is your pediatrician. You may also refer to the CDC’s website for Recommended Vaccinations for Children, which provides a comprehensive vaccine schedule by age.

What are some tips for the day of vaccination and immunization?

How you prepare your child will vary depending on their age and maturity.

• The CDC recommends for babies and young children, to comfort your child by cuddling or singing. Bring their favorite toy, blanket or book, and hold your child firmly while vaccines are being administered.
• For older children and adolescents, maintain friendly and supportive conversation and normalize vaccines as much as possible. Avoid scolding a child for crying or “not being brave” as everyone’s pain tolerance varies.
