Well Check And Immunization Schedule

Blog • January 1, 2024 • Vaccines

Below is our usual check-up and immunization schedule. Your child’s schedule may vary, so make sure you ask us when your child’s next visit should be.

Additional Information

  • We do not recommend giving your child Tylenol (acetaminophen) before the vaccines as there is some evidence that this may decrease the effectiveness of the vaccines.
  • If you are interested in more information on a particular vaccine-preventable disease, visit our AAP Patient Education Library where you can download Vaccine Information Sheets to learn about the disease, side effects of the vaccine, and other pertinent information.
  • Download our Well-Child Exam Handouts for more detailed information and guidance, based on your child’s age.
