Starting school for the first time is an exciting milestone for your little one. Make sure they’re ready and protected with the right school vaccines as well as a certificate of immunization for the school’s records. From ages 4 to 6, they’ll need additional doses of certain vaccines. Schedule an annual wellness visit with your child’s pediatrician to see which vaccines they recommend. You can also provide them with protection from vaccine-preventable illness by opting for an annual flu vaccine. For more information, talk to your healthcare provider and check out the CDC’s official immunization schedule for children and adolescents ages 18 years or younger.
