Immunizations policy
Immunizations
Ocoee Pediatrics follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Our Vaccine Philosophy
Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by national organizations that are committed to keeping children healthy and safe such as the American Academy of Pediatrics. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. In accordance with this philosophy and our extensive experience with immunizations, we have a strict immunization policy and we do not follow alternate vaccine schedules. We are happy to discuss your concerns about vaccines at your child's next visit.
