Are your child's shots up-to-date?

Here are the latest vaccine recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention along with the ages (or age ranges) for when each shot or series of shots is to be given. For example, the polio vaccine is to be given four times — at 2 months, 4 months, 6 to 18 months and 4 to 6 years. The yellow indicates that children in certain high-risk groups may benefit from additional vaccinations. If your child or teen has missed any shots, check with your doctor about getting back on track.
