11 yr HPV (3 doses, girls only)
12 yr Hep B (3 doses)
Alternative Schedule For those that want to fully vaccinate their kids, but “worry that some of the potential problems with vaccines haven’t been thoroughly researched . . . want to vaccinate, but want to do so in a way that minimized each potential risk”
2 mo DTaP, Rotavirus

*Notes & Clarifications:
Hep B – start at birth if mom, dad, or any close family members are hep B carriers
Flu – given at separate visits in October or November at ages 3, 4, and 5
ETA: This is in reference to 2009-2010 flu season (http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/vaccines/flu-vaccine-update-09-10-season), but still has good info about brands and dosing (for LO, teens and adults). I'm also choosing to highlight Dr. Sears following comment on that article that I think is important to know:
TIMING THE FLU VACCINE WITH OTHER VACCINES
Because the flu vaccine is so reactive (likely to cause fever and flu-like side effects), I prefer to avoid giving it with other reactive shots (like MMR, Hep B, Chickenpox, or the H1N1 vaccine). I recommend at least one month between the flu shot and any of these. I would place the priority on the flu shot over the MMR, Hep B or Chickenpox; delay any of those until it’s been at least a month after the flu shot.
Meningococcal – once approved for age 2, Dr Sears plans to move it there and delay Hep B by 6 months.
MMR – now that Merck is stopping production on monovaxs, get this one as you determine, anytime between 1 and 5. FYI, if you delay until age 4, a second booster isn’t needed (if given before age 4, a booster is given at age 5). He suggests you at least get this vaccine by the time your child starts preschool.

ETA: Separate MMR to return in 2011 (http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/vaccines/separated-measles-mumps-rubella-vaccine-return-2011)
