**All infants 6–23 months of age should receive a flu vaccine; children 2 years and older with defined high-risk conditions should receive the flu vaccine annually.

A vaccination record should be started when your child receives the first vaccination and updated with each vaccination. Copies of the record are required for school entry, camp attendance, college entry and the like.

A few additional vaccines are recommended for specific populations. Ask your physician if your child is a member of one of these groups.
