Immunization for Young Children

It's important to continue to protect your child's health by making sure he or she gets timely immunizations. Immunizations enable the body to produce antibodies that, in turn, prevent your child from getting — and spreading — specific diseases.

According to CDC, the United States currently has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history — and urges people of all ages to receive those immunizations that are recommended for their age and health status.

For Ages 4 — 6:

  • TDaP (or DTaP): to prevent diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis
  • MMR: to prevent measles, mumps and rubella
  • Flu Vaccine: recommended annually for all children

Ask your child's healthcare provider any questions you might have about immunizations. For CDC's most current childhood immunization recommendations, go to www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/.

If your child has missed any recommended immunizations, talk to his/her healthcare provider about "catch-up immunizations."
