Traverse Area Pediatric & Adolescent Clinic follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
For information about these vaccines and the diseases they protect against, check out this website by HealthyChildren.org
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) publishes these Vaccine Information Sheets that are also great resources (*these are the laminated sheets that we put out on the counter at each well visit when your child is due for a vaccine*)
Our Vaccine Philosophy
Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and the CDC. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections, and are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention.
You are welcome to ask us any questions you may have in regards to vaccinations at your child's next visit.
