Vaccination Schedule for 2-Month-Old Infants

Core Vaccines at 2 Months

The American Academy of Family Physicians and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that 2-month-old infants receive DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis), IPV (inactivated poliovirus), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), PCV (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine), RV (rotavirus), and the second dose of HepB (hepatitis B) vaccines 1, 2
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a 3-dose primary series of DTaP vaccine at 2, 4, and 6 months, with booster doses at 15-18 months and 4-6 years 1, 2
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a 4-dose series of IPV vaccine at 2, 4, 6-18 months, and 4-6 years 2, 3
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a 3-dose primary series of Hib vaccine at 2, 4, and 6 months, with a booster at 12-15 months, or a 2-dose primary series at 2 and 4 months with a booster at 12-15 months 4, 5, 6
The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends a 4-dose series of PCV vaccine at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months 1
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a 3-dose series of HepB vaccine, with the second dose given at 2 months of age 1, 3

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that combination vaccines, such as DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB, can be used to reduce the number of injections 2

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that premature infants be vaccinated according to the same schedule as full-term infants, beginning at chronological age 2 months 7
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all vaccines can be administered simultaneously at separate injection sites 8, 9

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that the minimum age for administration of most vaccines in the primary series is 6 weeks 2
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that if the first vaccination is delayed beyond 6 months of age, a modified catch-up schedule should be followed 5, 6

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that combination vaccines have similar safety profiles to individual vaccines, with the advantage of fewer injections and potentially fewer injection site reactions 2
