Immunization Schedule
Your child's good health is the best reason to immunize on time. Ask your doctor or nurse if your child's shots are up to date at every visit, and keep a record for yourself. If your child has missed shots, talk to your health care provider about getting back on schedule. New combination vaccines may decrease the number of shots your child will receive.
