Safe Return to School
COVID-19 disrupted both in-person learning and routine well-child visits for many children over the last year. As a result, many children have fallen behind on receiving recommended vaccinations. Getting kids up to date on vaccinations protects them from serious diseases, and for WIC families with school-aged children, it helps to get kids back to in-person school safely.
Visit the CDC's Immunization Schedules page to find:
The 2024 Recommended Vaccinations for Infants and Children (birth through 6 years), Parent-Friendly Version (also available in Spanish). On this page, you'll find free, downloadable schedules you can share with participants.
- A link to request free, printed copies of Vaccine Schedules.
- A link to their Resources for Parents page where you will find:
- An interactive Child and Adolescent Vaccine Assessment Tool (also available in Spanish) where parents can answer 7 quick questions to learn which vaccines their child may need.
- A video to help parents learn about the journey of a childhood vaccine’s development from lab testing through safety monitoring.
