the US AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) 2024 immunisation schedule. Personalised by your baby's birth date

Step-by-Step Guide

How to use this tool

This tracker uses the official AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) 2024 vaccination schedule. The gold standard for baby immunisation in the US. It takes 30 seconds to set up.

  1. 1
    Enter baby's date of birth

    This is the foundation of the schedule. All vaccine due dates are calculated from your baby's birth date. Even if your baby is already a few months old, the tool shows you what's been due and what's still pending.

  2. 2
    Click "Generate My Baby's Vaccine Schedule"

    Your complete personalised schedule appears instantly. You'll see every vaccine from birth to 12 years, with the exact due date for each based on your baby's age.

  3. 3
    Tick off vaccines as they are given

    After each doctor visit, tick the checkboxes next to the vaccines your baby received. This is saved automatically on your device so your record is always up to date.

  4. 4
    Look for the orange "Due Soon" badge

    Vaccines that are due within the next 2 weeks are highlighted in orange. This helps you plan your next paediatrician appointment before a vaccine becomes overdue.

💡 Catch-up vaccines are possible

If you have missed some vaccines due to illness, travel, or any other reason, do not worry. AAP has an approved catch-up schedule. Your paediatrician can administer missed vaccines in a compressed timeline. No vaccine is truly "too late" to start.

⚠️ This schedule is a guide only

Always confirm vaccine dates and brands with your paediatrician. Some vaccines may vary by brand availability or your baby's specific health conditions. Government hospitals (under NIS) and private paediatricians may follow slightly different schedules. The AAP schedule is the recommended standard for private healthcare.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The National Immunisation Schedule (NIS) provided free at government hospitals includes essential vaccines like BCG, OPV, DPT, Hepatitis B, Measles, and Vitamin A. The AAP schedule includes additional vaccines like Hib, PCV, Rotavirus, Varicella, Typhoid Conjugate, and Hepatitis A which provide broader protection but are given in private clinics.
This is very common. A mild fever is not a reason to skip vaccines. But if your paediatrician postponed due to illness, reschedule within 1-2 weeks. For most vaccines, the catch-up interval is 4 weeks between doses. Ask your doctor for the catch-up schedule specific to which vaccine was missed.
Vaccines on the government NIS schedule (BCG, OPV, DPT, Hepatitis B, Measles) are free at government hospitals and PHCs. Vaccines on the AAP schedule only (Hib, PCV, Rotavirus, Varicella, Typhoid Conjugate, Hepatitis A, HPV) are paid vaccines available at private hospitals, typically costing $500-$5,000 per dose depending on the vaccine.
It is not legally mandatory but is strongly recommended by AAP. Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhoea and dehydration in infants in the US. The vaccine is highly effective and available as oral drops, not an injection. It must be given before 8 months of age to be eligible.
Healthcare in USA

How vaccination scheduling works in the US

Pediatric care in America has too many decision points. Most parents do not realize this until midnight on a Tuesday. Your pediatrician handles routine stuff. After hours though, you have options to sort through. Nurse triage line that comes with your pediatric practice, free. Telehealth like Teladoc or Amwell, usually a small copay through insurance. Urgent care clinics, the CVS MinuteClinic and Walgreens Healthcare type places, around $100 to $150 cash. ER for actual emergencies, anywhere from $500 to $3000 even with insurance. Choice depends on baby age, severity of what is going on, and your insurance situation. Under 3 months with any fever (100.4 Fahrenheit, 38 Celsius), skip the decision tree completely. Go straight to ER. AAP is firm on that one.

📞 Emergency contacts in the United States

For emergencies in the US: call 911. For non-emergency advice, call your pediatrician or the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. Telehealth services like Teladoc. Plus Amwell and MDLive offer 24/7 pediatric consultations covered by most insurance plans. Call 211 for community resources.

Context for American families

What American moms actually deal with

American parents get conflicting advice from every direction. Wellness industry says lavender oil for everything. Some of those oils are actually unsafe for babies under 2 years old. Online mom forums swing from "every fever is fine, just wait it out" to "rush to the ER right now." Pediatricians want measured responses based on evidence. Insurance companies want you to call the nurse line first. None of these voices is entirely wrong. Just incomplete. AAP guidance is consistent and worth trusting more than Instagram momfluencers. For babies over 3 months, watchful waiting with Tylenol or Motrin and good hydration is fine for 24 to 48 hours unless something concerning develops. Under 3 months, any fever is an ER visit. No exceptions, no waiting it out.
