Data source: VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System)

Data through 2026 · Updated quarterly

Built by TheDataProject.ai · © 2026 VaccineWatch

Important: VAERS accepts reports of adverse events following vaccination. For any given report, there is no certainty that the reported event was caused by the vaccine. Reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This data cannot be used to determine if vaccines cause or contribute to adverse events.

⚠️

Important: VAERS reports alone cannot determine if a vaccine caused an adverse event. Reports may contain incomplete, inaccurate, or unverified information. Correlation does not equal causation.

About This Schedule

This schedule follows the CDC's recommended immunization schedule, which is reviewed annually by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The schedule represents the standard of care in the United States.

Each vaccine listed links to its VAERS data profile, where you can see reported adverse events, symptom breakdowns, age distributions, and year-over-year trends. For vaccines with dedicated side effect guides, click the "Side Effects" button for a comprehensive analysis.

Catch-Up Schedules

Children who miss doses may need a catch-up schedule with different timing. Adults who were never vaccinated may need certain childhood vaccines. The CDC provides detailed catch-up schedules at cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules.
