    • 2-6 Months: Rotavirus (three doses), Pneumococcal (two doses), Influenza, Pentavalent, Hepatitis B Booster
    • 7-18 Months: Triple Viral (one dose, prevents measles, mumps, rubella), Pneumococcal Booster, Influenza Booster, Pentavalent Booster
    • 18 Months - 4 Years: DPT (booster), Sabin Booster, R.influenza
    • 6-11 Years: HPV (recommended for girls, given in 5th grade)
