CHDC strongly advocates for disease prevention through immunization. Pediatric providers at CHDC stand ready to partner with you to provide your family with evidence based medical care by following the vaccine recommendations put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). AAP vaccine recommendations are based on scientific evidence proving these vaccines are a child’s best defense against preventable diseases and respiratory viruses.

As medical professionals, we feel very strongly that vaccinating your child on schedule with currently available vaccines is absolutely the right thing to do to protect all children and young adults. Please feel free to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about vaccines with your CHDC provider.
