Immunization Schedule

An immunization schedule is a timeline that outlines the vaccines recommended for individuals, particularly children, at specific ages. These vaccines protect against various infectious diseases by training the immune system to recognize and fight pathogens. The schedule indicates when each vaccine should be administered, often starting at birth and continuing through early adulthood. Following this schedule helps ensure timely protection, reduces the risk of outbreaks, and contributes to community immunity. Healthcare providers use these guidelines to help families keep track of necessary vaccinations for optimal health and safety.
