Nationwide Children’s mission is to keep children healthy and safe. Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death in children.

The previous U.S. childhood vaccine schedule was based on decades of scientific research and designed to protect children at the ages when they are most vulnerable. Reducing vaccine coverage would leave children unprotected against diseases the U.S. has largely contained through widespread immunization.

We remain committed to helping families make informed decisions about their child’s health. Families and caregivers should talk to their child's pediatrician about any questions or concerns. Vaccines save lives, and our focus will always be on protecting children and promoting their well-being.
