Immunizations
The importance
Immunizations are a safe, effective way to protect children from diseases, including some cancers, as well as hospitalization, disability, and death. It is especially important during a pandemic or other public health emergency to maintain routine immunizations to prevent further outbreaks. Our role is to work as a trusted source of vaccine information for parents and immunize our patients to make sure they are healthy and protected.
All Better Pediatric Group follows the immunization schedule and guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). You can view the recommended vaccinations for infants and children from birth through 6 years for 2023 here, and the recommended vaccinations for children 7 to 18 years old for 2023 here.
​
While we respect one's choice not to vaccinate, we feel we would be doing a disservice to our patients and community, and we feel uncomfortable as a practice caring for children who do not receive these recommended immunizations. Our mission at All Better Pediatric Group is to provide the best care based on the most up-to-date and accurate research for our patients and families, following studies and guidelines from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics). If you have any questions and want to learn more about our mission, don't hesitate to contact us through our office phone or email!
