NOTE: Rotavirus and Influenza vaccines are recommended, but are not required for students in early childhood programs.
Children attending early childhood programs are required to be immunized appropriately for age. This means a child has received all of the doses of each vaccine appropriate for his or her age, but is not considered "adequate for school entry". Children are to be immunized according to current immunization schedules.
If your child is due for immunizations, please call our office as soon as possible to set up a well visit, as some of our doctors are booking out into October. Remember, our doctors, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend all children over 2 years old have a well visit annually. If you are not sure if your child is current on their immunizations or on their well visits, please feel free to contact the office!
