Immunization Schedule

Wilmington Pediatrics believes that vaccinating children is one of the most important ways to prevent serious illness and we are confident in vaccine safety.   We follow the immunization guidelines recommended by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics and strongly encourage our patients to follow the current vaccination schedule.  For descriptions of these vaccines and the diseases they protect against, please visit the Healthy Children website.
