What vaccines should children have?

Several major medical groups including the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have developed the "Childhood Immunization Schedule, US":

 

 

 

The New Hampshire Immunization Program (NHIP) has developed two simplified immunization schedules for New Hampshire healthcare providers.  The purpose of a simplified immunization schedule is to consistently administer vaccines at the earliest possible time so that children are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases.  Both schedules include all of the routinely recommended vaccines for young children and adolescents.  In addition, minimum age and minimum intervals have been incorporated into this schedule. Two schedules are provided to show the difference when either Pediarix or Pentacel is used.  To reduce immunization errors and confusion, providers should pick one of these vaccines to provide to their patients.  Both of these schedules are temporary.
