Notes -
Can also get it from blood transfusions, though this is rare (but not unheard of) in the US, so it can hedge against unexpected surgery or injury. Also from accidental needle sticks depending on location (city playgrounds etc) So probably worth getting sooner rather than later as there are multiple vectors even for kids and the vaccine has a low risk profile.
Think we started my three at about 6 months old on that series so it would be complete before they were in the outdoor run around phase.
Though I did move around the world significantly when my kids were young so we were very aggressive with vaccinations. India, Pakistan, China, Egypt, at a certain point the risks outweigh almost any vaccine side effects if expecting to travel/live in non-first world countries significantly.
That probably doesn't apply to you though. But important for army/diplo kids.
