Immunization Schedule



Immunization is the process by which an individual's immune system becomes fortified against an agent (known as the immunogen).

Recommendations of immunization schedules are issued by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and are subject to change. The schedule may vary from state to state, so please always check current recommendations of the CDS and your local board of health.

The current recommended routine administration of immunization licensed childhood vaccines as of December 2007 for children age ) through 6 years may be accessed HERE.
For adolescent and adult immunization schedule may be accessed HERE.


Just to be remembered for nurses giving immunization schedule that :

  • Moderate or severe acute illness, with or without fever, is a contraindication to immunization.
  • Previous severe reaction to the vaccine or any of its components is a contraindication to immunization
  • The common cold without fever is NOT a contraindication to immunization
