Children as soon as they are born are given a schedule of vaccination. The vaccination schedule for the children starts as early as when they are just 3 days old. Later, when the parents start visiting a pediatrician, the children get their own schedule of vaccinations. Most of the vaccinations are given based on the age of the child.

Until the child is 6 months old, they get vaccinated almost at every visit and that is once in four weeks. By the time the child is about 18 months old, they are given booster shots for the first vaccinations. This cycle continues until the child is about 6 years old. Some vaccinations are given when the child is 15 or 16 years old. A child finishes one whole cycle of oral polio vaccines by the time they are 5 years old. However, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) does keep a record of child immunization charts. Some vaccines change every year or updated into booster shots.

The detailed list is of immunization shots is always available with the CDC. Take a print out of the immunization chart and put it on the refrigerator for the first year of your child. Because vaccinations are so frequent at this time that it is highly possible that you might forget some. The schedule is changes frequently so it is better you get an updated copy for yourself. Some vaccinations like oral polio, DPT, brain fever, meningitis, rubella, chicken pox and small pox, hepatitis and HiB are standard for any child.
