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.
Board question topics
- Minimum intervals and schedule sequencing
- True contraindications versus precautions
- Recognizing and responding to vaccine adverse events
- Catch-up scheduling for special populations
