1. This shows what vaccines your child should get and
when. Some vaccines may be given with others.
2, 3. The type, timing, and dose of Hepatitis B vaccine
that an infant gets is based on the mother's Hepatitis B status. Hepatitis B should also
be given to children and teenagers who have not had 3 doses of the vaccine. A 3-dose
series should be started or finished at 11-12 years of age. Teens who have not yet had 3
doses of the vaccine by age 12 should still get them.
4. The 4th dose can be given as early as 12 months, if the 3rd dose was
given 6 months sooner. Td (tetanus and diphtheria)should be given at 11 to 12 years of
age, if at least 5 years have gone by since the last dose of DTP, DTaP, or DT. After that,
Td boosters should be given every 10 years.
5. There are 3 brands of Hib vaccines. With one brand, the 6 month dose
in not given.
6. Two forms of poliovirus vaccines are used: inactivated poliovirus
vaccine (IPV) and oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). The first 2 doses should be IPV followed
by 2 doses of OPV or 2 doses of IPV.
7. The 2nd dose of MMR is recommended at 4 to 6 years of age, but may be
given during any visit if at least 1 month has gone by since the 1st dose. Those who have
not already had the 2nd dose should get it no later than 11 to 12 years of age.
8. Children who have not had chickenpox should get the VAR vaccine at 11
to 12 years of age. Children 13 years of age or older should get 2 doses, at least 1 month
apart.
9. Rotavirus is a common virus in children under age 5 that causes
diarrhea and vomiting. The 1st dose of the vaccine should not be given before 6
weeks of age. The 3-dose series should not be started at 7 months of age or older.
All 3 doses should be given by the first birthday.
