A member asked:

Currently pcsing and we havent settled with a new pediatrician yet but my baby boy will be 2 months next week and i know he needs his 2 month immunizations but my question is can it wait or do he needs them right at 2 months?

The vaccination schedule targets the soonest they will be effective in preventing disease in an infant whose immune system begins to have the ability to benefit from the shots. Some of the shots target things like whooping cough, that are most deadly in the first 6m-1y. Since protection takes weeks to start, the longer you delay, the more the risk. Some countries start vaccines at 6 weeks.

There are vaccination centers available until your insurance is processed. Please check with a local Pediatric office regarding options. The AAP vaccination schedule is recommended.
