See how childhood vaccine schedules compare

The US Department of Health and Human Services is narrowing the list of vaccines it broadly recommends for most children. Some shots will still be recommended for certain high-risk children and others would be recommended for "shared clinical decision-making," meaning people who want them must consult with a health care provider.
