Below is our usual check-up and immunization schedule. Your child's
schedule may vary, so make sure you ask us when your child's next
visit should be. If you are interested in more information on a particular
vaccine-preventable disease, you can click on its name below and it will take you to the CDC (Center
for Disease Control) webpage where you can learn about the disease, side effects of the vaccine, and other pertinent information.
If you would like to give your child acetaminophen (Tylenol) before the
vaccines, we recommend that you bring the medication with you to the
appointment. Once we see how much he or she weighs, we can determine an
accurate dosage and you can give the dose before your child is seen by the
doctor.
