Vaccine and Well Visit Schedule
Vaccine Schedule
Today, most children in the United States lead much healthier lives and parents live with much less anxiety and worry over infections during childhood. Immunizations are one of the success stories of modern medicine.
Well Visit Schedule
Routine check-ups are recommended throughout infancy, childhood, and adolescence to evaluate general health, growth and development, and to receive immunizations.
We recommend check-ups at the following ages:
- Newborn (2 days after discharge)
- 2-4 week
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
- 15 months
- 18 months
- 2 years
- 2.5 years
- 3 years
- Once a year around your child’s birthday beginning at 3 years
If there are concerns, especially during the first few months, your doctor may recommend that your child be seen more frequently. Appointments for routine “well child” exams should be made four to eight weeks in advance. Newborn exams should be scheduled at the beginning of office hours to avoid a crowded waiting room caused by backup delays. Yearly physicals should be scheduled during the month of your child’s birthday to avoid school and camp time rushes in May, June, August, and September.
Sick visits: We guarantee same-day sick visits for all children in our practice. Walk-in sick visits are from 9:30-2 on weekdays. No appointment needed. If those hours don’t work for you, just call or send us a portal message and we will schedule a sick visit at a more convenient time. On Saturdays, we are open for sick visits starting at 10am. Just send us a portal message Friday night or call us between 10-11 am on Saturday to schedule an appointment.
