Immunizations

Immunizations are one of the best preventative medicine practices that physicians have available today. Thanks to vaccines, many of the serious and deadly diseases that plagued children years ago are infrequently seen in the United States today.

Southdale Pediatric Associates follows the immunization schedules recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These schedules have been researched extensively, are proven to be safe, and help ensure that children are protected from these serious illnesses during their most vulnerable ages.
