Receiving the full series of recommended immunizations shields children against 14 preventable diseases. Vaccinations also help protect vulnerable people from the risk of disease, especially infants who are too young to be vaccinated, and children and adults whose immune systems are weaker. CDC recommends children should receive four doses of DTaP, three doses of Polio, one dose of MMR, four doses of Hib, three doses of Hepatitis B, one dose Varicella, and four doses of Pneumococcal vaccine, otherwise termed “the Childhood Seven Series.”
The chart below shows the percentage of children receiving the seven highly recommended vaccinations by age 2.
