Our vaccine philosophy

Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and the CDC. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections and they are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention. We are happy to discuss your concerns about vaccines at your child’s next visit. Safety facts on vaccines from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Immunizations

We follow the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Detailed information sheets are published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Recommended Immunization Schedule

Product recalls

Child products, such as cribs and toys, are often recalled due to a defect or hazard. It’s important to pay close attention to recalled consumer goods to protect your child from dangerous items. View more information at the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Car seat recommendations

As a parent, it is your job to protect your child when riding in a vehicle. Using car seats properly helps keep children safe. But with so many different types of car seats on the market, understanding how to use them correctly can be overwhelming for parents. Visit the AAP Car Seat Safety Information page for guidance on choosing the most appropriate car safety seat for your child. We offer a class on the proper use of rear-facing car seats.
