Editorial policy

Please read before using

This site is provided as is, for general information only. We make no guarantee that any content, plan or data here is accurate, complete or current, and we are not responsible for any errors, omissions or changes, or for any issues or outcomes that result from using it. You are responsible for reviewing everything yourself, checking the official sources linked on each page, and confirming any plan with your child's healthcare practitioner before acting on it.

What are we, and what are we not?

We are a publisher of a free planning tool and plain-language guides. We are not a medical practice, we do not employ clinicians to advise readers, and pages are compiled from published official sources rather than written from clinical experience. The site cannot account for your child's medical history, and the scheduler models the healthy-child path only.

That is why every plan is framed as a suggestion to review with your child's healthcare practitioner. See the medical disclaimer for the full wording.

What is our position on vaccines?

The site is built for parents who want to vaccinate but prefer a slower, spaced-out pace. It is not an anti-vaccine resource. We say plainly that delaying a vaccine lengthens the time a child is unprotected, and that both the CDC and the AAP recommend on-time vaccination as the default. Where the two bodies disagree, as they do in 2026, we show both and label them.

How is content researched and sourced?

We use sources in this order of preference:

1. Government primary sources: the CDC immunization schedules and notes, FDA package inserts and licensed-vaccine lists, and each state's own health or education department page.
2. Professional bodies: American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) publications and HealthyChildren.org.
3. Compilations used as a cross-check, such as Immunize.org's state requirement tables, never as the only source for a rule.
4. Policy and legal status (for example, the 2026 court stay in AAP v. Kennedy) from the Congressional Research Service, court dockets and agency announcements.

Each content page ends with a numbered Sources list. Statements that depend on a date, such as court or rule status, carry a dated status line. When we cannot confirm something against a primary source, we leave it out or say it is unconfirmed.

Where do the scheduler's rules come from?

Minimum ages, minimum intervals, dose-reduction rules and hard age cutoffs are encoded from the CDC schedule, the catch-up schedule (Table 2) and the schedule notes, and are covered by automated tests. The About page explains the method in plain language.

How current is the content?

Content was last reviewed on October 12, 2026. Pages may be updated from time to time when official guidance changes, but there is no guaranteed review schedule and any page may be out of date when you read it. Always check the official source linked on the page. Notable updates are listed on What's changed.

Spanish translation

The main pages of the site are also available in Spanish. The Spanish pages are translations of the English originals, made with the help of automated tools. They have not been reviewed by a human translator or by a medical professional. Medical facts and numbers (doses, ages, intervals and dates) are kept identical to the English source, and if the two versions ever differ, the English page is the reference version. Each Spanish page carries a note saying it was translated with the help of automated tools.

How is the site funded, and does funding affect content?

• Free to use. There are no accounts, paywalls or subscriptions.
• Optional tips. Visitors can leave a tip through a hosted checkout link. Tips do not unlock anything.
• Affiliate links. Some product links may earn us a commission; none are live today. They will be labeled where they appear and are explained in our affiliate disclosure.
• No ads today. If that changes, this page and the privacy policy will be updated.

No sponsor, advertiser or affiliate partner reviews, approves or influences what we publish, and the scheduler produces the same plan whether or not anyone clicks an affiliate link.

What happens to what I type into the scheduler?

By default nothing leaves your device (an optional encrypted synced copy exists and is off unless you turn it on). The plan is calculated in your browser and saved only in your browser's local storage. Read the privacy policy for details, including our use of aggregate analytics.
