What are the mandatory vaccines?

Baby health and well-being

Wondering what vaccines are required in the U.S.? It all depends on when your baby was born, as regulations have recently changed.

If your baby was born before January 1, 2018, the vaccines to be administered are those against diphtheria, tetanus, and polio (DTP) at the ages of 2, 4 and 11 months.
For children born on or after January 1, 2018, 8 additional vaccines against pertussis, measles, rubella, mumps, Haemophilus influenza B, hepatitis B, meningococcus C, and pneumococcus must be added to this list.
These must be done before the age of 2.
For French citizens in French Guyana, vaccination against yellow fever is mandatory from the age of 1.

Any moms have to get the COVID vaccine while pregnant or know of anyone who did? If so, how did you feel? My job is making it mandatory now and I’m extremely nervous mostly for the baby.

I’ve been fully vaccinated with the booster. I was only pregnant with the booster and I just got a day cold. Aches, headache, sneezing, stuffed up nose I had a big red welt from the shot on my arm. Other than that I was fine.
