The list details vaccines available and used in the US. This is not a list of vaccines anticipated to be administered to each individual.

Ok there may be 65-70 vaccines - but the list you have at that site includes a large number that aren’t mandatory for kids. Plus there are a lot that are just variations or different combinations/formulations for the same thing. You wouldn’t get all those just the one your doctor proscribed.

As an example: Anthrax. - started to be required for all military in the mid 90s just as I was getting out. Not required for kids.

Cholera - recommended when traveling to certain countries. Mandatory when joining the military. Not required for kids.

My kids did get more than me but not by much. They did get combinations that weren’t available when I was a kid (DTAP-HPV for them. Polio, tetanus, and diphtheria for me - not sure I got pertussis). And they got boosters I didn’t really see a lot of. Overall they probably got 30 % more shots then me - but then I was too young to recall exactly what I got...and I got shot up big time when I went in the service with everything.

My sister got smallpox but I was one of the first groups that didn’t in the late 60s. My girls didn’t get it as it wasn’t required.

Varicella is required in some states not all and not recommended if you’ve had chicken pox or shingles before.

They did try to require HPV for my girls but we said no - as we didn’t believe it had been tested enough and they weren’t active with boys. We did tell them if they became active they should consider it...but we recommended they just avoid the need :)
