Immunizations

We at ABC Pediatrics recommend that all of our patients be immunized according to the immunization schedule endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). (click on the Immunization Links below for more details). Our current immunization schedule is listed below. Our practice policy is to not accept the responsibility of caring for patients whose parents have refused or wish to refuse all vaccines. However, we do appreciate that some parents will have concerns about immunizing their children. We encourage you to discuss your concerns with your child’s primary physician or seek more information from reputable sources (see links below). Under the discretion of your child’s physician, we can offer a modified immunization schedule (e.g. delaying certain vaccines until an older age, or not giving a high number of injections or vaccines at a particular visit). Please discuss these options with your child’s physician.
