Question

First, make a chart with four columns. Label them BIRTH, 2mo, 4mo, and 6mo. In each column, you will have 1 vaccination, 6 vaccinations, 5, and 6 respectively. (I just remember 1,6,5,6).

The only vaccine at birth is HEP B. At two months, you get Hep B, IPV, Dtap, Pneumo, Rota, and Hib (6 vaccines). 4 months, you get all of them except Hep B (5 vaccines). 6 months you get all of them, just remember Hep B and IPV can range anywhere from 6-18 months (6 vaccines at 6 months, plus remembering the ranges for Hep B and IPV is why I write them first!)

Hopefully that made sense.

Now I remember the letters H,P,M,D (I remember this by saying Hewlett Packard, M.D. (as in doctor) haha.

Hib 12-15 months
Pneumo 12-18 mo
MMR 12-18 mo
Dtap 15-18 mo

I remember the numbers by saying that the first three have 12's on the right side, last three have 18's on the left side, and 15s in the corners.

Now for 4-6years I remember DIM (as in Dtap, IPV, and MMR).


Hopefully that helps, I know it seems like a lot but definitely better than just trying to memorize!

Answer 1

Infants receive Hepatitis B shot at birth and a series of vaccines at two, four, and six months. Older children receive vaccines at 12-18 months and 4-6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vaccinations for Infants

Infants receive their first vaccination at birth with the Hepatitis B shot. At two months old, they receive six vaccines: Hep B, IPV, Dtap, Pneumo, Rota, and Hib. At four months, they receive five vaccines, excluding Hep B. And at six months, they receive all six vaccines again, with a reminder that Hep B and IPV can range from 6-18 months.

Vaccinations for Older Children

For children aged 12-18 months, they receive Hib, Pneumo, and MMR vaccines, with the first three having 12s on the right side and the last three having 18s on the left side. At 15-18 months, they receive the Dtap vaccine. For children aged 4-6 years, they receive the Dtap, IPV, and MMR vaccines.
