What are the immunizations for a 6 month old?
At 6 months of age, your baby should receive vaccines to protect them from the following diseases:
- Diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis) (DTaP) (3rd dose)
- Haemophilus influenzae type b disease (Hib) (3rd dose)
- Polio (IPV) (3rd dose)
- Pneumococcal disease (PCV13) (3rd dose)
- Rotavirus (RV) (3rd dose)
What is the recommended vaccine schedule for babies?
Birth to 15 Months
| Vaccine | 2 mos | 4 mos |
|---|---|---|
| Rotavirus (RV) RV1 (2-dose series); RV5 (3-dose series) | 1st dose | 2nd dose |
| Diphtheria, tetanus, & acellular pertussis (DTaP: <7 yrs) | 1st dose | 2nd dose |
| Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) | 1st dose | 2nd dose |

What are contraindications for immunizations?
A severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to a vaccine component is a contraindication to any vaccine containing that component, and a severe allergy following a dose of vaccine is a contraindication to subsequent doses of that vaccine. Severe immunosuppression is a contraindication to live, attenuated vaccines.
What immunizations should be given at the 2 4 and 6 month intervals?
The routine schedule for administering DTaP to children is a 3-dose series at age 2, 4, and 6 months, followed by boosters at age 15–18 months and 4–6 years. The first booster may be given at age 12–15 months as long as there is an interval of at least 6 months from the preceding dose.
