VACCINE INFORMATION

We not only vaccinate to protect our children, we also vaccinate to protect our grandchildren and their grandchildren. With one disease, smallpox, we “stopped the leak” in the boat by eradicating the disease. Our children don’t have to get smallpox shots anymore because the disease no longer exists. Smallpox is now only a memory, and if we keep vaccinating against other diseases, the same will someday be true for them too. Vaccinations are one of the best ways to put an end to the serious effects of certain diseases. 

Newtown Center Pediatrics is an office that follows the CDC guidelines.  We do not like to split-up vaccines or delay them in anyway.  Click here for a vaccine schedule.
