Childhood Immunization Schedule

Apply the CDC/ACIP childhood immunization schedule confidently, including catch-up planning and contraindication decisions.

What this track covers

This track covers the routine immunization schedule from birth through adolescence, along with catch-up scheduling for under-immunized children, international adoptees, and refugees. It also addresses distinguishing true contraindications from precautions, recognizing and managing adverse events, and counseling families on vaccine decisions.

What you will practice

  • Sequence a routine schedule from birth through 18 years using minimum intervals
  • Build a catch-up schedule for a child who missed multiple visits
  • Distinguish a true contraindication from a precaution in a given patient
  • Identify when a reaction warrants VAERS reporting versus reassurance
  • Respond to a parent's specific hesitancy concern with an evidence-based answer

Simulator scenario

A simulator case where a parent brings in an under-immunized child adopted internationally and the clinician must build a compliant catch-up schedule while addressing the parent's questions.
