What's changed

Guidance, court rulings and state rules change, and so do we. This log lists notable content reviews and tool updates in order.

By IN2Labs Last updated October 12, 2026 Editorial policy

1. October 12, 2026 Scheduler

   Optional synced copy and per-visit aluminum details

   • Added guides on alternative schedules, what the research shows on spacing, shots per visit, missed doses, kindergarten requirements, finding vaccine records and adopted or immigrant children, plus catch-up-by-age and baby-shots-by-age pages computed from the planner, and a page for clinicians.
   • The planner now blocks moving MMR and varicella closer than 28 days apart unless given the same day (CDC live-vaccine rule).
   • Added an optional, off-by-default synced copy: the plan is encrypted in your browser and stored online so you can reopen it on any device. The key lives only in your private link, the child's name is never included, and you can delete the copy at any time.
   • Added a collapsed 'About aluminum in this visit' section on each visit that includes aluminum-adjuvant vaccines. It shows per-dose amounts from the brand data and quotes only what the FDA and CDC pages literally say, with links.
   • Added brand selection ('Use this one'), dated given/skipped records, restore links and backup files to the planner.
2. October 12, 2026 Content

   Source re-check, new safety and suitability guides

   • Added two guides: vaccine safety monitoring and what official sources say about aluminum, thimerosal and spacing, and who should not use the planner without clinician guidance (including the hepatitis B birth dose for babies of HBsAg-positive or unknown-status mothers).
   • COVID-19 now follows the CDC's current routine guidance: unvaccinated children 6-23 months get 2 doses at least 4 weeks apart, and unvaccinated children 2 years and older get 1 dose. The CDC's wording is shared clinical decision-making.
   • Illinois: hepatitis B is not required for kindergarten through grade 5 (it is required for child care and grades 6-12), per the 2026-27 state table.
   • Vaccine guide: Recombivax HB aluminum is now shown per dose (about 0.25 mg per 0.5 mL), Priorix (GSK MMR) was added, and Prevnar 13 is flagged as absent from the CDC's pediatric price list.
   • Florida: added the September 30, 2026 Notice of Change to the proposed Rule 64D-3.046; the rule is not final.
   • Replaced broken official links (IPOL, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah) and clarified the hepatitis B final-dose wording (CDC minimum age 24 weeks; the planner uses 6 months).
   • Court status updated: the First Circuit appeal (No. 26-1503) was reportedly argued in early October 2026 and we found no decision as of October 12.
3. October 11, 2026 Scheduler

   Visits now rotate through vaccines, CDC-style

   • The planner now works through the due vaccines round-robin — one dose of each per round, like the CDC schedule's own checkups — instead of finishing one vaccine series before starting the next.
   • Rotating finishes in fewer visits whenever several series are behind: the plan's length follows the slowest series, not the sum of all of them.
   • No settings change: saved plans, share links, and exports keep working as-is.
4. October 5, 2026 Site

   New name and domain: VaxScheduler

   • The site is now VaxScheduler at vaxscheduler.com (was Delayed Vaccine Scheduler at delayedvaccine.com).
   • Same tool, same content, same team — only the name changed. Plans saved on this site in this browser keep working.
   • Tips now run on IN2Labs' shared tip service (Stripe-hosted checkout, no accounts needed).
5. September 30, 2026 Site

   Spanish version of the site

   • Added Spanish versions of the home page, the scheduler, the Learn hub and the main guides, the state requirement pages, and About, Editorial policy and Privacy summary.
   • Spanish pages are translations of the English originals made with the help of automated tools; they have not been reviewed by a human translator. Errors can be reported to the contact address.
   • Added an EN | ES language switcher and hreflang alternates.
6. September 30, 2026 Content

   Printable schedule examples, dose tables and state comparison

   • Added a printable schedule page with three example plans built by the scheduler engine and checked against CDC minimum ages and intervals.
   • Added a table of how many doses each vaccine needs by age at the first dose, computed from the CDC catch-up rules.
   • Turned the state requirements page into a comparison table (required vaccines, hepatitis A, non-medical exemptions) and cross-linked it with the exemptions overview.
   • Rewrote the opening of the main guides and the vaccine pages to lead with the dose counts and minimum ages, with the risk of delaying stated up front.
   • Each page in the sitemap now carries its own last-modified date.
7. September 30, 2026 Content

   Delay guides, catch-up guide, glossary and state exemptions

   • Added a delay guide for each of the 11 vaccines: whether it can be delayed, what a later start changes, the risks of waiting with CDC sources, minimum ages and intervals, catch-up and school requirements.
   • Added guides on the catch-up schedule, giving one vaccine at a time, and talking to your pediatrician (with a print-friendly layout), plus a plain-language glossary.
   • Added exemption details to all 51 state pages, and a state-by-state exemptions overview. Entries we could not confirm on an official page are marked.
   • Added a CDC vs. AAP comparison table for each vaccine to the CDC vs. AAP guide.
8. September 30, 2026 Site

   Editorial policy, sourcing on every page, change log

   • Published the editorial policy: who publishes the site, how content is sourced and reviewed, how corrections work, and how the site is funded.
   • Every guide, vaccine page and state page now shows a reviewed date, key takeaways, and a numbered list of official sources.
   • Reworded pages so plans are consistently described as suggestions to review with your child's healthcare practitioner.
   • Added this change log and rewrote the About page.
9. September 29, 2026 Content

   Content review against CDC, AAP and state sources

   • Updated the CDC vs. AAP guide with the January 2026 CDC changes, the March 16 court stay in AAP v. Kennedy, the April 29 appeal, the re-established ACIP and Executive Order 14407.
   • Corrected the hepatitis B baseline: the hepatitis B series stayed recommended under the CDC's 2026 schedule; only the birth dose became an individual decision.
   • Updated COVID-19 labeling for 2026-27: the AAP recommends it for children 6-23 months, and the CDC treats it as an individual decision.
   • Corrected state exemption details for Mississippi, Massachusetts and West Virginia, and noted Florida's proposed rule change as not final.
   • Scheduler accuracy fixes: doses that cannot legally fit are reported instead of being placed past age limits, month math uses calendar months, and suggested later finish dates are verified by re-running the plan.
   • Accessibility fixes: labeled scheduler controls and improved placeholder contrast.
10. July 3, 2026 Scheduler

    Scheduler reliability fix

    • Fixed a bug where an over-constrained plan could freeze the browser tab; the scheduler now always finishes and explains what could not fit.
    • Added the working contact address and the optional tip link.
11. June 30, 2026 Site

    Legal pages and expanded state and vaccine pages

    • Added Privacy, Terms, Medical Disclaimer and Affiliate Disclosure pages.
    • Expanded all 51 state pages with exemption notes, per-state Q&A and official source links, and thickened the per-vaccine pages.
    • Added an opt-in analytics consent banner.
    • Scheduler now finishes each vaccine series before starting new ones, and shows an honest panel when a plan cannot be completed by the chosen date.
12. June 13, 2026 Site

    Launch

    • Launched the free Delayed Vaccine Scheduler, four parent guides, the vaccine and ingredient reference, and kindergarten requirements for all 50 states and DC.
