Immunization Resources

Immunizations protect people against disease. All children and adults should stay up-to-date with their immunization schedules. This way, they can protect themselves and make sure they don’t pass contagious diseases on to others.

The New York State Department of Health recommends this schedule for children and adolescent immunizations:
