										The diseases that childhood vaccines prevent can be very serious—even life-threatening. That’s why CDC’s recommended immunization schedule is designed to provide protection to infants and children early in life, before they are exposed to these diseases. Making sure children receive all of their recommended vaccines helps protect them from 14 serious diseases by the time they reach 2 years of age:
DTaP vaccine to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis);
Polio vaccine to protect against polio;
MMR vaccine to protect against measles, mumps, and German measles (rubella);
Hib vaccine to protect against*Haemophilus influenzae* type b;
HepB vaccine to protect against hepatitis B;
Varicella vaccine to protect against chicken pox (varicella);
PCV to protect against pneumococcal disease;
HepA vaccine to protect against hepatitis A;
Rotavirus vaccine to protect against rotavirus; and
Flu vaccine to protect against seasonal flu.Learn more about the vaccines recommended for children and the diseases they prevent.
