Missed a dose?
If your child missed a dose or started late, most vaccines can be given on a catch-up basis. The schedule does not usually need to restart. Talk to your pediatrician, who can adjust timing safely for your child.

About this schedule
The American Academy of Pediatrics publishes its childhood immunization schedule alongside the CDC, and the two are harmonised: they cover the same vaccines against the same diseases. The AAP version breaks some visits into narrower age bands, which is closer to how a pediatric practice actually books appointments.
