Immunization charts for children and adults

After getting approval from several expert groups, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following immunization schedules:

• Children ages newborn to 6 years (What is a PDF document?)
• Children ages 7 years to 18 years (What is a PDF document?)
• Children ages 4 months to 18 years who missed getting some immunizations (What is a PDF document?)
• Adults ages 19 years and older (What is a PDF document?)

Each year, the CDC reviews the immunization schedules for children and adults and makes new ones as needed.

For a form you can use to track your child's immunizations, see the childhood immunization record(What is a PDF document?).
