At Beacon Pediatrics, the health and safety of our patients is our highest priority. In light of the current uncertainty surrounding leadership and guidance from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our practice is reaffirming its commitment to providing care based on the most rigorous, evidence-based standards.

Beacon Pediatrics will continue to follow the vaccine schedule and immunization guidance as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP remains a trusted authority in pediatric medicine, consistently providing guidance rooted in high-quality clinical evidence and a clear commitment to children’s health.

We continue to strongly support timely immunization as one of the most effective tools for preventing serious childhood illnesses and protecting public health. We know that delayed schedules leave an infant or child at risk for preventable infections and introduce opportunities for error. We thank you for your trust and partnership as we provide care guided by the most current and reliable pediatric medical standards.

If you have any questions about your child’s immunization schedule, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
