Immunizations and Your Child’s Health: A Lifetime of Protection Starts Early
Protecting your child’s health begins long before they ever get sick. One of the most effective ways to do that is through routine childhood and adolescent immunizations. As experienced East Portland pediatricians, we help families build strong, healthy habits early on, starting with vaccines.
We Trust Vaccines and You Can Too
Not only are vaccines safe and effective, they are crucial in preventing serious diseases. As your trusted pediatricians, we’re here to ensure your child grows up healthy and protected through every stage. As parents ourselves, we vaccinate our children on time every time, knowing that it is one of the most important actions we can take to protect them now and in their future.
Expert Care You Can Count On
At East Portland Pediatrics we follow the vaccine schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and strongly recommend staying up-to-date on this schedule. As AAP President Susan J. Kressly, M.D., FAAP states, these recommendations “are rooted in science and are in the best interest of the health of infants, children and adolescents. Pediatricians know how important routine childhood immunizations are in keeping children, families and their communities healthy and thriving.”
