Vaccine Schedule
Pediatric and Adolescent Care recommends and supports the following vaccine schedule. It is compliant with the schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, American Council of Immunization Practice, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We do not support alternative vaccine schedules or “breaking up the vaccines” to give one or two at a time over two or more visits. These alternative vaccine schedules go against expert recommendations putting your child at risk for serious illness (even death) and goes against our medical advice as pediatricians of Pediatric and Adolescent Care.
