CHILD IMMUNIZATIONS
We recommend frequent check-ups during infancy and yearly beginning at three years. We feel these visits are important to assess growth and development, and to offer advice regarding safety and emotional issues that are an important part of a healthy childhood. Please note that after age 3 years, insurance carriers will only pay for one well visit every 365 days, so please check eligibility with your carrier if there are any questions.
For you convenience, you can download the below CDC recommended guidelines for your child’s immunization shots. If you have any questions, please let us know at your child’s next scheduled checkup.
