To help with these questions and others, we’ve developed Understanding the Childhood Immunization Schedule. It’s a new resource, based on the recommended immunization schedule from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), that public health communicators can share with parents and caregivers.
It offers clear answers to some of the most common questions being discussed today.
