The CDC childhood vaccine schedule with your child’s dates
This CDC vaccine schedule tool turns the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s child immunization schedule into dates for your child. Enter a date of birth to see when each routine dose is due — hepatitis B, rotavirus, DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal, polio, flu, MMR, chickenpox, hepatitis A, Tdap, HPV and meningococcal — which are overdue, due now or coming up, and download calendar reminders or a printable vaccination card.
US vaccine policy changed several times in 2025–26. CDC announced a revised schedule in January 2026, but a federal court put it on hold on 16 March 2026, and CDC’s schedule page shows the 2025 schedule (with its July 2025 addendum). This page follows what CDC shows, dated, and notes that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) publishes its own schedule. It is information only, not medical advice.

What this page leaves out
- Catch-up doses for children who started late, and extra vaccines for children with medical conditions (CDC Tables 2 and 3).
- Vaccines CDC lists for shared decision-making or particular groups, such as COVID-19, meningococcal B, dengue and mpox — ask your child’s doctor.
- State school-entry requirements, which vary by state.
- Brand-specific doses: some rotavirus and Hib brands need fewer doses.
How to read the dates
- Single ages (for example 2 months) mean the dose is due from that day; a short delay is common and usually fine — follow your doctor’s booking.
- Age ranges (for example 12–15 months or 4–6 years) mean the dose can be given at any point in that window; the table shows the start of the window as the due date and the end as the deadline.
- Overdue simply means the recommended age has passed without a tick. Most doses can still be given later as catch-up.
- Ticks and given dates are only reminders for you; your doctor’s or state registry’s record is the official one.

CDC Vaccine Schedule for Children FAQ
What vaccines does a baby get at 2 months?
On the CDC schedule: rotavirus, DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal conjugate (PCV) and polio (IPV), and often hepatitis B dose 2 if it was not given at 1 month.
What is the CDC vaccine schedule for 2026?
CDC announced a revised schedule in January 2026, but a federal court stayed it on 16 March 2026, and CDC’s schedule page shows the 2025 schedule. This page follows that and dates it; check cdc.gov and your doctor for changes.
Is the AAP schedule different?
The AAP publishes its own childhood schedule. It can differ from CDC’s, especially after the 2025–26 policy changes. Ask your pediatrician which schedule their practice follows.
My child missed a vaccine. What now?
Most vaccines can be caught up using CDC’s catch-up schedule. Your doctor will plan the missed doses; you do not usually need to restart a series.
