Gold Pediatrics can ensure that your child keeps up to date on immunizations during their routine checkups. From birth onward, your child must keep up with a schedule of vaccines to keep them healthy and safe.

What Immunizations Does My Child Need?

It’s essential that you keep up with your child’s immunization schedule. Since the vaccines, your child gets will depend on factors such as age or health, it’s important to talk with our children’s doctor about which immunizations your children will need throughout their childhood. Some of these include,

• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis A
• Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis
• Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB)
• Polio
• Pneumococcal (Prevnar 13)
• Meningococcal (Menveo)
• Influenza
• Rotavirus
• Meningitis B
• Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
• Measles, mumps, and rubella

Dr. Errol Douglas will help your child stay up to date on immunizations by scheduling their next appointment when they are already in our office.

Are Immunizations Safe?

We understand that some parents have concerns about getting their children vaccinated, but here are some facts about vaccines that may put your mind at ease,

• All vaccines go through years of rigorous testing before ever being approved by the FDA
• By vaccinating all children, we can prevent these diseases from becoming a common occurrence again
• Many of these diseases can lead to severe complications, disabilities or even death
• There is no link between vaccines and autism, according to the CDC

Keeping your child healthy is as easy as ensuring they are up to date on all of their immunizations, and Dr. Douglas can ensure that your child doesn’t miss a vaccine.
