"Children in the U.S. are at risk of different diseases than children in other countries. Vaccine recommendations in the U.S. are designed to help children resist serious illnesses so they can stay healthy, and our communities can stay healthy." - Dr. Jose Romero, AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases

The recommended pacing of childhood vaccines in the U.S. is based on decades of evidence-backed data and testing, ensuring that children receive the strongest protection against preventable diseases when they are most vulnerable and when their bodies will respond best.

Each ingredient in a childhood vaccine is critical in helping ensure vaccines remain widely available so your child can stay healthy and learning.

Aluminum, for example, plays a key immune-boosting role in various childhood vaccines, providing kids with the greatest protection from some of the most serious preventable diseases. Ask your pediatrician if you’d like to know more about aluminum in vaccines or if you have any other questions about vaccine ingredients.
