Here at Spring Creek Pediatrics, we will continue to recommend vaccines according to the schedule put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Why are we following the AAP schedule? First, because we want your child to grow and flourish - learning to crawl, then walk, pedaling a bicycle, hopping on the school bus, and one day learning to drive. Second, because the AAP has been guiding pediatric care for nearly a century, making evidence-based recommendations that help parents make informed decisions to allow their children to thrive.
Founded in 1930, the AAP issued its first vaccine schedule in 1934. Today, with over 67,000 members, the AAP offers guidance on numerous aspects of children’s health - from nutrition and mental health to safety - but vaccines remain a central focus. Following their recommendations ensures that parents receive advice grounded in decades of expertise and science.
Vaccine Science and History
Vaccine science continues to advance as new research and data become available. This ongoing evolution has shaped the vaccines used today, saving countless lives and protecting communities.
Our Commitment
We carefully review every new recommendation before sharing it with families. We will never recommend a vaccine or treatment for your child that we would not choose for our own.
If you have questions regarding the vaccine schedule, our team is available to provide guidance and support.
