Immunizations are an important part of our health care delivery to our community.

We strongly recommend that every child be given the opportunity to be immunized as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, using vaccines that are already approved by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and and the Food and Administration Association (FDA).

Every parent is encouraged to take the time to become familiar with the immunizations that their children are given or required to take from time to time. This will enable them to gain knowledge about the usefulness of these vaccines and also provide information about potential side effects.

Below is a list of the vaccines that are currently recommended for children and adolescents and a summarized list of the diseases they help to prevent.
