Check-ups & Immunizations

About Check-ups

The schedule below is used by our physicians for well child visits. It is important to keep these appointments to monitor growth and development at each age. After 3 years of age, annual checkups are recommended.

About Immunizations

We strongly recommend infants and children receive their vaccines on the following schedule. The vaccines are timed in order to protect your child when he or she is most vulnerable and when they will be most effective.

Vaccines do not cause autism nor will they "overwhelm" your child's immune system. The American Academy of Pediatrics has an excellent website at www.aap.org that can answer any questions you have. Vaccines protect your child against life threatening disease.

Feel free to ask any of our providers about vaccine questions you have.
