Immunization Schedule
Reading
Pediatrics follows the immunization guidelines recommended by
the American Academy of Pediatrics. This schedule will satisfy
all school entry requirements. Because Reading Pediatrics is committed
to quality health care, we believe strongly in the safety, effectiveness,
and the importance of these vaccines. Parents who do not wish
to protect their children from these deadly diseases will be advised
to seek medical care for their children elsewhere. For descriptions
of these vaccines and the diseases they protect against, please
consult the following charts. Parents concerned about the safety
of these vaccines are strongly encouraged to consult the following
web sites: www.immmunizationinfo.org, www.vaccinesafety.edu, or
www.immunize.org. All routine immunizations administered at Reading
Pediatrics are thimerosal-free.
Please note that this schedule is subject to change when the American
Academy of Pediatrics updates its recommendations. We will inform
you of these changes as they occur.
