CDC, American Academy of Family Physicians and American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommend children receive all vaccines according to the recommended vaccine schedule.

- Tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough (pertussis) (Tdap)
- Hepatitis A (HepA)
- Hepatitis B (HepB)
- Polio (IPV)
- Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)
- Chickenpox (Varicella)
