Parents, find out which shots your child needs next.
Vaccines for kids. What's needed and when.

Reviewed 9/30/2022

What vaccines does your child need?

Use this interactive guide to figure out which shots your child needs next.

Children need vaccines to help prevent a whole range of diseases. And parents may need a little help figuring out which vaccines are needed when.

Here's a schedule of routine childhood vaccines from birth through 18 years old. Special circumstances—such as health conditions, international travel or a missed dose—may affect vaccine recommendations. Your doctor is your best resource for any questions you have. You can also learn more about vaccine recommendations at cdc.gov/vaccines/parents.

Protect your child from COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe for kids age 6 months and older. It can help them avoid getting very sick from the coronavirus. Make sure your child stays up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccine and boosters.

Our board-certified pediatricians specialize in caring for children from birth through their teen years. Whether your child needs a checkup, has an unexpected illness, or requires chronic disease management, such as asthma, we have you covered.

And with outpatient pediatric clinics located in Brunswick, St. Marys and St. Simons Island,

knowledgeable and caring doctor for your child is always nearby.

Pediatric primary care from the heart

Our doctors and office staff are great with kids. They strive to make going to the doctor less stressful —even fun. Our number one goal is your child’s well-being. With our team’s clinical knowledge and caring approach, we work to provide the highest quality pediatric care and an exceptional experience.

We want you and your child to feel comfortable with us during your pediatrician visits. Our providers view you as partners in your child’s care. So please don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Our outpatient pediatric services

Our pediatricians help kids stay healthy. They also treat kids with illnesses and offer a variety of services during their growing-up years.

Here are some of our pediatric services:

Well-child exams. Kids need regular pediatrician visits to help prevent illnesses, stay current on vaccinations, and track their growth and development.

Care for chronic conditions. We evaluate and manage many chronic illnesses, like asthma and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Sports physicals. We help kids safely get their game on.

Screenings. These include mental health, vision and hearing checks.

Health counseling and support. We teach kids how to stay healthy, safe and well as they become teens and young adults.

Same-day care. Unexpected illnesses, like sore throats, are a fact of life for families. One of our providers will help your child feel better.

Pediatric specialty services

Our pediatricians can address most of your child’s needs. But if your child would benefit from seeing a pediatric specialist, you can connect to that care with a referral from our team. Wolfson Children’s at Southeast Georgia Health System offers pediatric cardiology and rehabilitation (occupational, physical and speech) in Brunswick. Children who need neurosurgery can receive telemedicine evaluations, consultations and follow-up care with a pediatric neurosurgeon.
