We at Weston Pediatrics are following the guidelines for childhood vaccinations put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics which is supported by years of science that has documented their effectiveness and safety. \u00a0We agree with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health recommendations as below:<\/p>\n
MDPH recommends that families and providers in\u00a0Massachusetts use the\u00a0American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule\u00a0<\/a>as the primary reference for the routine\u00a0immunization of infants, children, and adolescents.\u00a0The AAP is a national professional organization representing pediatric physicians, and its immunization\u00a0schedule aligns with science-backed pediatric standards of care, is supported by decades of documented effectiveness, and provides detailed\u00a0guidance that supports clinical decision-making in pediatric settings.<\/p>\n Parents can find information at\u00a0HealthyChildren<\/a>, and easy to read immunization schedules for\u00a0young children (under 7 years old)<\/a> and older children (7 through 18 years old).<\/p>\n
