Vaccine Information
Our Vaccine Policy
At Little Oak Pediatrics, we follow the vaccine schedule that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). We firmly believe in both the effectiveness and safety of the currently recommended vaccines for children and adolescents. These schedules are continually studied and revised by experts in fields of medicine and immunology and public health.
​
We recognize that the decision to vaccinate your child may be an emotional one for some parents, and we will do everything we can to reassure you that vaccinating according to the recommended schedule is in the best interest of your child. We are always happy to sit down with you to answer any questions or concerns that you have about vaccine safety or your child’s vaccine schedule.
