Immunization schedule
The recommended schedule of immunizations is updated at least every 12 months by organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Consult your primary health care provider about specific immunizations for you or your child. The current recommendations are available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, www.cdc.gov/nip. At every doctor visit, ask about the next recommended immunizations.
