A vaccination checklist is a simple way to track which immunizations you and your family have received and which ones may be due, organized by life stage from infancy through older adulthood. It helps you keep accurate records, prepare for appointments, and discuss the recommended schedule with your doctor.

Vaccines protect against many serious diseases, and recommended schedules differ by age, health status, and other factors. Public health bodies such as the CDC and WHO publish schedules that your doctor uses to tailor advice to you.

Use this list to gather your records, note past doses, and flag anything to ask about at your next visit. It is a planning aid, not a substitute for the schedule your healthcare provider follows.

Made for patients, caregivers, and seniors keeping track of their own and their family's records, this checklist is printable and downloadable as a PDF. Tick off what is current and circle what to confirm with your doctor.
