It is very important to follow the immunization schedule as described by the CDC. The children who are born in the hospital start getting the immunization shots as per schedule immediately after birth. The parents who have their children born away from medical care, should immediately contact the pediatrician to get the necessary immunization shots as soon as possible.

The acquired immunity from the mother is often not sufficient for the child, especially just a few days after birth. Following a prescribed immunization schedule, helps the baby's body to generate antibodies that can fight off any infection as quickly as possible. Sometimes, not all babies can be administered immunization shots due to medical complications which the doctor is able to determine after complete checkup of the baby after birth.

The CDC lays out recommendations for immunization for children of all ages. In case a vaccination has been missed, there are recommended catch-up schedules available from the CDC.
