Vaccine Schedule by Age

Vaccines are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your health but many people aren’t sure
which vaccines they need or when to get them.

At San Miguel Medical Clinic, we help people of all ages stay up to date on their recommended vaccinations
whether it’s your child’s routine shots,a back-to-school booster, or protection for older adults.

Let’s break it down by age group.

👶 Infants and Young Children

Babies get the strongest protection during their first few years of life. Early vaccines protect against serious diseases like:

Hepatitis B
DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)
Polio
Rotavirus
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
Chickenpox

🕒 Schedule: Starts at birth and continues through 6 years old.

👧 Teens and Preteens

As kids grow, boosters and new vaccines are needed:

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) – helps prevent certain cancers
Meningococcal – protects against meningitis
Tdap Booster – refreshes protection from tetanus and whooping cough

🕒 Recommended at ages 11–18.

🧑 Adults

Many adults forget vaccines aren’t just for kids. Important adult vaccines include:

Flu Shot – every year
Tetanus (Tdap) – every 10 years
COVID-19 boosters (if applicable)
Catch-up vaccines (if any were missed as a child)

🕒 Especially important for teachers, healthcare workers, and caregivers.

👵 Seniors (Age 50+)

Older adults face higher risks from common infections, so vaccines become more important than ever:

Shingles Vaccine
Pneumococcal Vaccine (pneumonia)
Updated COVID-19 boosters
Flu Shot

🕒 Some of these are one-time shots; others are annual.
