FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!
Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.
Got a hold of the older children/teen and adult versions of this chart. Vaccines for everyone!
You all may be sick of me banging on this drum but I got whooping cough in my mid/late 20s because I had no idea I needed an adult booster and I coughed so hard I broke my rib. And guess what? Then I got to keep coughing that hard, but now with a broken rib.
Please get your boosters.
If you are in doubt and can't find the US one, you can always look at what other countries like the UK or Australia are doing - we publish our schedules publicly for free, and change them often, based on evidence.
The current UK child and adult vaccination schedule is as follows:
There are also more detailed schedules available for at risk individuals.
you should be getting covid vaccines every half year if possible; unfortunately they are difficult to find, but it's more than worth it to look into finding support because it is now a permanent fixture like the flu. if you've had covid even once before, you can truthfully tell pharmacies you are immunocompromised, because it damages your immune system every time you get it (source also includes 85+ studies on all the body-wide effects of covid, including on formerly healthy people and children)
covid is constantly evolving to become more dangerous and contagious (study on how it was becoming more dangerous years ago already; i don't have sources on hand for recent studies i've seen so covid conscious folks feel free to add if you have em (new variants are more contagious than omicron, which is contagious enough to be caught within 10-30 seconds). "Recent SARS-CoV-2 variants such as BA.4 and BA.5 developed abilities missing from the first Omicron variants that allowed them to overcome humans’ innate immunity, according to research from UCL." so get vaxxed as much as you can and wear a respirator mask indoors and in outdoor crowds in public, since vaccines reduce transmission but do not stop it!
