Basically, my son was up to date with the CDC schedule at his 6 month checkup. (I need to get his exact records to be sure which ones he got) I know that some of the vax's are only relevant for younger children, and if I wait until he is 4, possibly some could be skipped (??). If you had to start catching up a 3-4 year old, which ones would you do? Also, I am about to have a new baby, so exposure might be an issue for some of these. I do think summer would be a better time to start vaxes for my son as he normally spends the entire cold months sick. Thanks in advance!!

DTaP for sure because even though it's not the most effective vaccine, pertussis is one disease I'd like to avoid in my house.

The CDC actually has a downloadable tool that explains the catch up schedule based on your child's age and what vaccines they have already had.

As far as what vaccines to get, I think that's something that is going to be different for each parent. The book Turquesa recommended is great for learning about the different vaccines and diseases.
