"Here is a breakdown: Whooping cough (DTaP) Hib Pneumococcal Polio Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) HPV (just 1 dose now) Chickenpox (varicella) New CDC Recommendations for High-Risk Kids According to the CDC, not every kid needs every shot. Some vaccines are recommended only for children who are considered high-risk, which usually means children who have certain health issues and medical conditions, like a weak immune system, chronic lung or heart problems, or liver disease."
The CDC updated pediatric vaccine guidance, cutting the routine universal schedule from 17 vaccines to 11. Vaccines remaining routine include DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal, polio, MMR, one-dose HPV, and varicella. Several vaccines are now recommended only for children at higher risk due to medical conditions, exposure, or potential to infect vulnerable people; these include RSV, hepatitis A and B, dengue, and meningococcal ACWY and B. Other vaccines, such as rotavirus and COVID, are left to shared decision-making between parents and pediatricians. All CDC-recommended vaccines are covered by insurance, and choosing a pediatrician aligned with family needs is advised.
