How is your child going to school? I thought children could not attend public school without up to date immunization records? Just take him to his pediatrician or family doctor and get started. They won't give everything at once, but will space them out as necessary.

Thanks for replyWe just immigrated to Canada a few month ago...and our physician told me that my child require all the immunizations done.So he will start giving all shots from 2month and then 4 etc?

I don't know the specifics. I would think that he would get the same series as an adult. There might be differences. Try checking on the CDC website or do an internet search to see what the immunization schedule for an adult is. That would give you some idea of what to expect.

I just did an internet search, the CDC schedule for adults states over 18, so do an internet search for immunization schedule for teens and you should get plenty of examples.
