2 things you can do now

If you're not sure about vaccines, bring a question to your next healthcare visit: "Can you walk me through what shots my baby is getting today and why these vaccines are recommended now?"

This question can open a conversation to help you understand why some vaccines are recommended early in life. You don't have to make decisions alone. Your child's care team wants to support you, not pressure you.

Another small, helpful action you can take now: Add your baby's vaccine schedule to your phone calendar. You'll get reminders, just like you would for any other important appointment. This can help you keep your baby's protection on track.

With the right information and support, these decisions don't have to feel overwhelming. Vaccinating children early is one of the best ways to protect their health. The science and decades of real-world use all show the same result: Vaccines are safe, and they work.
