No, children in the US do not receive 80 vaccines as infants; they are protected against about 14 to 16 diseases, though the total number of shots can be around 27 by age two due to multiple doses being required for immunity and some vaccines protecting against multiple diseases at once. The total number of doses is far fewer than 80, and a child's immune system is capable of handling the small number of vaccine antigens given during a single visit, according to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
