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 (Centers for Disease Control) webpage where you can learn about the disease, side effects of the vaccine, and other pertinent information.
We do not recommend giving your child Tylenol (acetaminophen) before the vaccines as there is some evidence that this may decrease the effectiveness of the vaccines.
