Vaccination Schedule Calculator: Track Your Child's Immunizations
Track upcoming vaccinations by your child's age with the CDC recommended immunization schedule. Get reminders for catch-up vaccines and boosters.
Pediatric vaccination schedules are genuinely complex — there are 14+ vaccines in the first two years of life alone, many given in series, some at very specific age windows. The CalcHub Vaccination Schedule Calculator takes your child's birth date and current date, and generates a personalized schedule showing what's been due, what's coming, and when.
The CDC Recommended Schedule: First 2 Years
| Age | Vaccines Due |
|---|---|
| Birth | HepB (dose 1) |
| 1–2 months | HepB (dose 2) |
| 2 months | DTaP, Hib, IPV, PCV15, RV |
| 4 months | DTaP, Hib, IPV, PCV15, RV |
| 6 months | DTaP, Hib, PCV15, RV, Influenza (annual) |
| 6–18 months | HepB (dose 3), IPV (dose 3) |
| 12–15 months | MMR, Varicella, HepA (dose 1), Hib (final), PCV15 |
| 15–18 months | DTaP (dose 4) |
| 18–23 months | HepA (dose 2) |
| 12–23 months | Influenza (annual) |
| 4–6 years | DTaP booster, IPV booster, MMR booster, Varicella booster |
What the Calculator Does
Enter your child's birthdate and the current date, and the calculator returns:
- Completed vaccines: What should have been received based on age
- Due now: Vaccines due at the current age
- Upcoming in 30/60/90 days: Proactive planning for appointments
- Catch-up needed: If your child has fallen behind on any series
Catch-Up Schedules
Missing a vaccine doesn't mean starting the series over. Most vaccine series can resume where they left off, and the calculator shows the appropriate catch-up timing. The minimum intervals between doses in a series are fixed — you can give doses later than scheduled, but not earlier.
Adolescent and Teen Boosters
The schedule doesn't end at age 6. Key adolescent vaccines:
| Age | Vaccines |
|---|---|
| 11–12 years | Tdap booster, HPV series, Meningococcal (MenACWY) |
| 13–18 years (catch-up) | HPV (if not started), Meningococcal booster |
| 16–18 years | MenB (meningococcal B, optional) |
| Annual | Influenza |
Keeping Records
The calculator helps you generate a printable or exportable vaccine log. Keep a copy in:
- Your child's physical medical records
- Your phone's notes/health app
- Their school health file (schools require proof of vaccinations for enrollment)
What if we've traveled internationally and received vaccines abroad?
Vaccines received abroad count toward the schedule as long as they were WHO-approved and administered at the correct minimum age and interval. Bring documentation from the foreign provider to your pediatrician.
Is the vaccine schedule the same in all countries?
No. Some countries use different vaccine combinations, schedules, or timing. The CDC schedule is specific to the United States; WHO has its own recommended schedule. If you're an international family, note which country's schedule you're following.
Can vaccines be given "early" to protect before travel?
Some vaccines can be moved earlier for travel to high-risk areas, but minimum age and interval requirements still apply. Your pediatrician can advise on travel-specific modifications.
