Vaccine Schedules
Vaccines are the best way to protect yourself and those you love from many serious diseases. Vaccines are recommended across the lifespan from babies to older adults! For help finding an immunization provider, call the Help Me Grow WA Hotline at 1-800-322-2588 or visit www.helpmegrowwa.org
The goal of the recommended schedule is to protect children and adults as soon as it is safe and effective to do so. Following the recommendations ensures that children are immunized when their bodies respond best to vaccines, and that they are protected when they are most vulnerable to diseases. It is the only schedule that has been studied and proven to be safe.
