The ABC’s of Common Vaccinations
Show: UAMS Health Talk
Which vaccines does my child need for school? Routine childhood immunizations are the topic. Robert Hopkins, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at UAMS, Medical Director of National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, explains newborn doses (hepatitis B, RSV), the two‑month combination series (DTaP, polio, rotavirus, pneumococcus, Hib), MMR and varicella, and state school booster requirements. Learn how combination shots reduce injections, age‑group differences, and practical steps to confirm your child is up to date.
