Pediatric Health Care recommends the following childhood immunization schedule organized by office visit. This schedule is in accordance with the United States Government Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and the American Academy of Pediatrics ( AAP ) .
Our philosophy is to immunize children as soon as possible so that the children don't remember the shots and are protected sooner.
If children do miss any of their immunizations, or start their immunizations later, the practice will develop an individualized catch-up schedule. We will also individualize a child's immunization schedules based on their medical needs.
