Immunizations / Vaccines

We do NOT delay nor space vaccines in children, or allow non-immunized children into our practice. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule for All the children in our practice.

Your baby will require, by law, certain immunizations for protection against childhood diseases. It is very important for your child that all immunizations be kept current.

Immunizations are usually started at one week of age and are essentially completed before school entry at age five. A more detailed schedule will be discussed with you during your baby’s first visit.
You will be given printed material to read about each of these vaccinations, and possible side effects, and asked to sign a consent form before each injection is given.
