Vaccination Checklist
Sometimes a child should wait before getting certain vaccines, or should not get them at all. Tell your doctor or nurse if any of these apply to your child on a day when an immunization visit is scheduled.
- Is your child sick today? (More than a common cold, earache, etc.)
- Does your child have any severe (life-threatening) allergies?
- Has your child ever had a severe reaction after a vaccination?
- Does your child have a weakened immune system (because of diseases such as cancer, or medications such as steroids)?
- Has your child gotten a transfusion, or any other blood product, recently?
- Has your child ever had convulsions or any kind of nervous system problem?
- Does your child not seem to be developing normally?
