Your baby's vaccines

Your baby will need various vaccines at well-baby visits, including vaccines to protect against hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, chickenpox and other diseases. During each injection, the doctor will instruct you on how to hold your baby and help keep him or her still. Afterward, hold your baby, talk, sing, breast-feed or offer your baby a bottle to help soothe him or her.
