Each vaccine on the CDC newborn-through-18-month schedule, walked through one question at a time.
-
1
A short, gentle survey per vaccine
A handful of questions about your child, your household, and what matters to you — tailored to the specific dose you’re thinking about.
-
2
The risks and the benefits, in plain words
Published evidence translated into your picture — what protection this dose offers your child, and what the trade-offs actually look like for your family.
-
3
A one-page summary you can bring to the exam room
A written rationale you can save, revisit, or hand to your pediatrician — so the visit becomes a conversation, not a checklist.
“The CDC has many smart scientists and many good ideas. But every child is different — and the right answer for your child deserves to be your answer, not a blanket one.”
The right vaccine choice for everyone isn’t always the right one for your child.
The CDC schedule is built for averages. Your child is one specific person — with their own health history, their own family, their own community. We help you weigh each dose in the context that actually matters: yours.
