Dear Patients and families,

We want to inform you of an important update regarding immunizations at our practice.

After careful review, our practice will continue to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended immunization schedule. At this time, we will not be adopting the recently updated CDC schedule.

The AAP is developed specifically with children’s health as its primary focus and is based on extensive review of the best available scientific evidence regarding safety, effectiveness, and timing of vaccines in infants, children, adolescents. As pediatricians we believe this schedule best supports the health and well-being of our patients.

Our commitment is, and always has been, to provide care that is evidence based, thoughtfully considered, and centered on what is best for children and families.

Thank you for your trust in our practice.
