The recommended immunization schedule leaves room for individualization
by the patient and pediatrician. For example, there is a range of ages at
which many of the immunizations can be given and new
combination vaccines are now available that have altered the timing
and number of shots given to many children. The following is the well check
and immunization schedule that we currently follow. Or, if you would like to see if your child's immunizations
are up to date by checking the number of immunizations that should have been
received by his or her age, click HERE.
