We strongly believe that vaccines and immunizations are very important in preventing life-threatening disease. We follow the guidelines and recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. We are happy to discuss any specific questions you have regarding the immunizations your child should receive. The following is a guideline for the schedule of immunizations. Your child's immunization schedule may differ from the published schedule based on what you and your physician decide is best for your child.
