VaxScheduler
A free planner for a slower, spaced-out vaccine schedule
VaxScheduler is a free, no-login planner for parents who want to vaccinate their children at a slower, spaced-out pace. You choose shots per visit, visit spacing and a finish date, and it builds a plan from the CDC schedule and catch-up rules, or tells you when it cannot. It is a planning aid, not medical advice, and every plan is meant to be reviewed with your child's healthcare practitioner. It is an in-house IN2Labs product, live at vaxscheduler.com in English and Spanish.

A planner, with its limits stated plainly
VaxScheduler is pro-vaccination and cautious. It says 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. A slower pace is a choice some families make with their child's healthcare practitioner, and this tool helps them lay it out.
It models healthy children only, gives no individual medical advice, and has a page on who should not use it.
Sourced, not improvised
Every dose, minimum age and interval comes from the CDC Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule and its catch-up rules, with the AAP schedule available as an option. Changes to the schedule data and guides are logged in a public changelog, and an editorial policy explains how sources are chosen.
Private by design
There are no accounts. The plan is calculated in your browser, and nothing you enter leaves your device unless you opt in to an encrypted synced copy. You can print a one-page plan, export a calendar file, or share a link to go over with your practitioner.
