Childhood immunizations in the United States
The schedule of childhood immunizations in the United States is given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The vaccination schedule is broken down by age: birth to six years of age, seven to eighteen, and adults nineteen and older.Childhood Immunizations are key in preventing children for diseases that were once epidemics. Thimersal was a mercury containing ingredient that used to be in immunizations. Thimersal created a hype among mothers because they thought it maybe related to Autism.
