Immunizations

Immunizations have become a large point of discussion in our culture in the past few years, and as the discussion continues in the media and online, it’s often hard to decide what’s true or not. Valley Children’s pediatricians believe very strongly in the importance of childhood immunizations, and to adhere to the immunization schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). If you feel differently and do not wish to immunize your child according to the schedule, we may not be the right practice for you. We are always happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about childhood vaccinations.

In order to ensure your child stays up-to-date on all necessary vaccines, our offices offer vaccine only visits, should your child need an immunization in between their regularly scheduled well child visits. 

We welcome you to contact a Valley Children’s primary care office to schedule an appointment to talk with your pediatrician about vaccinations, and encourage you to take a look at these helpful links.
