Well Child Exams and
Immunizations |
|
| Immunizations are important for the
health and well being of your child.
 The chart below is the typical schedule for
most infants and children. Sometimes the schedule may have to vary due to health
and other unforeseen events. The side effects from immunizations are rare and
are usually not as bad as what could happen if they get the diseases your are
immunizing against.
Children cannot attend most schools without most of their
immunizations being administered. Dr. Trivedi will be more than happy to talk
with you and work with you to make sure your child has the best care available.
