Routine Vaccinations Schedule

A child requires a schedule of routine vaccinations. In Bronx, NY, Dr. Joice Samuel, Dr. Mirdula Sharma, and Emily Wilson PNP of Bronx Kids Pediatrics offer this service to children from birth to adulthood. Some vaccines are given solo and others are part of a combination vaccine to allow fewer actual shots to be given.

Childhood Vaccines

The first vaccine that infants are given is the Hep-B vaccine. It is given at birth, then a second dose is given between one and two months, and the third dose between 6 and 15 months. 

The DTaP combination vaccine is for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and acellular Pertussis. It is a five-dose series given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, between 15-18 months, and the final one between 4-6 years.

The Flu vaccine is recommended at 6 months and every year thereafter. 

MMR is the measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles) vaccine. These were some of the most common childhood illnesses before the vaccines were developed. Now, not so much. This is a two-dose series, one at 12-15 months and one between 4-5 years.
