What you need to know:
Keeping shots up to date is critical to a baby’s health. Vaccinations are needed from birth into childhood and are usually given during routine, well-baby visits to a doctor or clinic.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies receive the following vaccinations (health care providers often use initials when they talk about these vaccinations):

* Hepatitis B (HepB)
* Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP)
* Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib)
* Inactivated polio (IPV)
* Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)
* Varicella (chickenpox)
* Pneumococcal (PCV)
* Influenza (flu)
* Hepatitis A (HepA)

Answer 2

Both my boys received the Hep B vaccine the day they were born.

As for the other vaccinations, they also get Pneumococcal, DTaP (diptheria and pertussis), Hib, IPV (polio), MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), and Varicella (chicken pox). Most (I think all, actually) of these are given more than once. I don't know the exact schedules though...I'd have to look at their immunization records! I do know that they're usually vaccinated for two or three times every time they go for a well child visit. They generally stop vaccinating at about 18 months, and don't get their next immunization until they're 4 years old.

Answer 3

It is kinda different in other countries I'd guessed, but anti hepatitis b is the most common vaccination given to all countries and in other countries especially in Asia they give vaccinations for protection for measles, /chicken pox, mumps, dengue fever. This will be done every 2 weeks in 2 months as far as I remember. I suggest you should get a regular pediatrician for your newly born baby because infants or babies are very susceptible to sickness like fever.

Answer 4

Most countries don't vaccinate the way that we do. And before you vaccinate your child, please educate yourself in the side effects and dangers. SIDS went up 50% the year that they began vaccinating for dtap. And autism has skyrocketted since the began vaccinating for mmr. Lots of us moms choose not to vaccinate our babies at birth until they need the shot (and some of them just aren't needed, period). There's also lots of evidence that unvaccinated babies have stronger natural immune systems and get sick less often. Check out these links for lots more information!

Answer 5

Pilio, Hep B and Diphtheria Tetanus and Pertussis are given first...nto right away first at two months then 4 then 6 months...I'm not sure how they do it in other countries but that's how they do it here.

Answer 6

currently Hep b in America only then two months later they start them every couple of months. until they are 1. then its anually.as far as other countries im not sure but my daughter who is four I think had four shots 2 weeks after she was born and i think 2 at the hospital, which has changed since then.
