Question: How Many Shots Does My Child Need, and When?
Answer: Some children should get their first shot (hepatitis B) before leaving the hospital
after birth. Others begin at 2 months of age. You will have to return for more shots
several more times before the child starts school. Your doctor or nurse will tell you
when to come back.
Here is a schedule showing the recommended ages for each shot.
