Shot schedule?????????

Question

ok i know babies are supposed to have their shots as they grow

but how do they work like whats the schedule as far as age

like at what age to they get what shots(how many)????

Answer 1

there are 2 schedules.  My daughters pediatrician does "cluster" shots - so it is less frequent.  The cluster schedule is 2months, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months.  Flu vaccines every year. and screenings every year

Answer 2

Starting at the 2 month check up the series of shots begin.  No more that 4 at a time, but they much be given at the correct spacing otherwise they are not effective.  Make sure your insurance covers them, not all will cover all the shots that the Dr. recommends.

Answer 3

2 months 3 months 6 months they get 3 shots and a liquid 1 that they have to take by mouth well thats what my son has gotten

Answer 4

I have my sons shot record that the dr gave me and here it goes:

DTaP: 2m 4m

DPT:6m 15-18m

Td: 4-6 yrs  14-16 yrs.

Polio: 2m 4m 15-18m 4-6 yrs

HIB: 2m 4m 6m 15-18m

MMR: 15m  5-12 yrs

Hep. B: Birth 1-2 m 6-18m

chicken pox: 12-15m

prevnar(its a drink): 2m 4m

rotavirus: 2m 4m 6m These are all that are listed on his record and what he has recieved. he goes back next week and sometimes there are shots that are not listed on the record that they give. you will just have to ask yourdr or you can go to the health dept and get a list.  

Answer 5

2months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12-24 months, including the chickenpox shot, and there kindergarten booster between the ages of 4 and 6.

Answer 6

My son so far has gotten shots every two months.  First round at 2 months, second round at 4 months, 3rd round at 6 months..... and then I think again at a year.  Discuss this information with your doctor.  They will be able to give you the best advice and information on the subject.  

Answer 7

Well generally you get 4 shots at 2 months, then again at 18 months, and again at 4 years. But depending on what you decide you are able to get them separated out and at whatever time you feel is right for you and your child.

Answer 8

Your doctor will be able to give you all this information - which is the best person to ask.

Answer 9

your doctor will explain that when you take them and they'll help you schedule them at the right times.
