We’re committed to providing you with clear, accurate information about the vaccines we recommend, their benefits, and the safety measures we uphold. Informed parents make the best decisions for their children’s health, so we invite you to explore our resources and feel confident in your choices.
Recommended Vaccine Schedules
Top disease experts—including pediatricians—work together throughout the year to update the Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule for ages 18 years or younger. The schedule is approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health care organizations. It is based on ongoing review of the most recent scientific data for each of the recommended vaccines and other immunizations. To be included in the recommended schedule, the vaccines must be licensed by the Food and Drug Administration.
Vaccine Information Sheets
Vaccine Information Statements are information sheets produced by CDC that explain both the benefits and risks of a vaccine to vaccine recipients.
