The center for disease control and prevention offers all of this info. Here's the site.
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/default.htm

They offer immunization schedules for children and adults. The charts can be a little confusing, but my understanding is that you get a lot of immunizations as a small child before you start school and then you will need to "renew" some of those shots (such as the MMR, tetanus, etc.) 7 to 10 years later.
