Protection through every life stage
Keep your immunization plan current—not just your card.
Vaccine needs change with age, health conditions, pregnancy, work, school, travel, previous doses and evolving public-health guidance.
A clinician can review available records, identify which recommendations may apply, explain benefits and potential reactions, and plan future doses. Not every vaccine is needed or suitable for every person.
Reasons to review your record
Eight moments when immunization needs can change.
The appropriate vaccine, product and timing depend on individual circumstances, current recommendations and availability.

Check routine, school-based and catch-up vaccines as children and teenagers grow.
Adult boosters
Review whether routine adult doses or boosters are due based on records and age.
Pregnancy planning and pregnancy
Discuss vaccines recommended before, during or after pregnancy and optimal timing.
Seasonal protection
Ask about current influenza, COVID-19 or other seasonal public-health recommendations.
Older age or health risk
Consider additional protection related to age, chronic disease or immune status.

Review incomplete records and build an appropriate catch-up plan without guessing.
