Vaccines are an important tool to keep children healthy.
We know the news around vaccines can be confusing. Despite this, the science remains strong that vaccines are the safe and healthy choice. We encourage healthcare providers and community members to rely on evidence-based recommendations from trusted national physician organizations, like the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Immunizations protect children from many dangerous diseases.
Keep your child up to date on recommended vaccines.
View recommended vaccines for children:
- Birth to 6 years old, also available in Espanol (Spanish).
- 7 to 18 years old, also available in Espanol (Spanish).
Find your child’s immunization record at MyIR.
It’s best to go to your healthcare provider for vaccines.
