Below, we have attached New York State's Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, updated for 2023.
- A check ✓means that this is the earliest and best time for your child to be immunized.
- If your child misses the “best time” for vaccination, he or she should still be immunized as quickly as possible.
- Ask your doctor about getting your child caught up.
