I need to find out when my child needs to have immunizations each year?

Answer 1

go to the health department

Answer 2

The first year it is pretty frequent for instance my little one born on 9/21/05 so we went on 11/21/05 2mnths and had 5 shots and then on 1/23/06 4mnths had 4 shots 3/22/06 6mnths 4 shots, then 6/22/06 9mnths and so on. we go next week for a few shots for her at 2years old but then nothing till 5. What you need to do is call the pediatrician that you use or going to use(if you have not had child yet) and get the shot record for your state. Some states have different time frames and also so does the Dr's. That would be the best and the safest ways for you to find out. I work in pediatrics and I could give you our list but, I know for a fact that it is different in different regions of the country/countries. If your little one is brand new you should be going soon for your 2 week ck up but at least you will see the dr at 2mnths.

Answer 4

Your pediatrician can advise you of the schedule, or it is probably available on the website of your state health department. You could also check the website for your school, or consult the school nurse.


If your child is getting regular medical care, the pediatrician will make sure that the immunizations are up to date.

Answer 5

I have a 2 year old boy. I stopped all immunizations for many health reasons- check out these web sites before you start immunizations.

Answer 6

Check your peditricians office. They usually have a chart on the wall explaining which shots are needed when. If you go in and ask the receptionist make sure you take a copy of his/her current immunization record.

Answer 10

Just check with your child's pediatrician. And if they are old enough for school, the school will have a schedule of what is required for school admission. But I'd still check with the pediatrician's office.

Answer 11

Do you have a doctor for your child? They would know more than us I would think. You don't get yearly shots, in California, unless it's just the flu shot.
