Tap your child’s age. You’ll see the vaccines usually given at that checkup and what comes next.
This tool shows which vaccines are usually given at each checkup from birth to 16 years. It is for parents who want to know what to expect at their child's next visit.
You pick a checkup age, and the tool lists the vaccines usually given at that visit with a short note on what each one protects against, then shows what comes at the next visit. For example, the birth visit includes hepatitis B and an RSV antibody for babies born during or entering RSV season; 2 and 4 months include DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal, polio and rotavirus; 12 to 15 months bring the first MMR, chickenpox and hepatitis A doses; 4 to 6 years are school-entry boosters; and 11 to 12 years include Tdap, HPV and meningococcal ACWY. From 6 months, a yearly flu vaccine is shown.
The page follows the routine American Academy of Pediatrics recommended schedule for 2026. It notes that the CDC lists its July 2, 2025 schedule as current, and that your child's doctor will tailor the schedule to your child. It also explains that a missed dose does not mean starting over.
At the 2-month checkup babies usually get DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal (PCV) and polio (IPV) shots plus rotavirus drops by mouth. That is usually 4–5 shots, and combination vaccines can mean fewer.
The 12–15 month visit includes the first doses of MMR, chickenpox (varicella) and hepatitis A, plus Hib and pneumococcal boosters. The second hepatitis A dose follows 6 months after the first.
You don't need to start over. Your child's doctor will catch up the missing doses. Bring your child's vaccine record to every visit.
