The current AAP/CDC immunization schedule is the recommended schedule. This is typically updated each year. As we discuss your child’s specific immunization needs you can ask the question “Well Dr. Paul, what would you do if this were your child?” And you can be sure to get an honest answer that places an emphasis on safety by getting those vaccines covering the most dangerous diseases that are prevalent, while minimizing the risk from toxins contained within the vaccines or other concerns you may have.
