Recommended viccine for kids

Hepatitis A is caused by a virus that can be spread by close personal contact or sometimes by eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
The recommendation is that children under 13 years of age receive a chicken pox booster. It is called the varicella vaccine, and previously it was given at age 1. Now the new recommendation is to give a booster [a second shot] between ages 4 and 6.
the hepatitis vaccine was recommended to be given to children living in areas that were at high risk for hepatitis. But beginning last year, it was recommended that the two-dose vaccine be given to every child between the ages of 12 [months] to 23 months. A "catch-up" vaccine can be considered for those over age 2 [who did not receive the vaccine].
