Immunization Schedule Update & Commitment to Evidence-Based Care

We understand that recent news and public discussions about immunizations have raised questions and concerns for many families.

At Dekalb Pediatric Center, we want to reassure you that our practice continues to follow the evidence-based immunization guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).  These guidelines are developed through rigorous scientific review and are designed to provide the safest and most effective protection for children at every stage of development.

Our recommendations are based on:

• Decades of clinical research and real-world safety data

• National pediatric and infectious disease expert consensus

• Ongoing review of emerging evidence

We recognize that every family is unique, and questions about vaccines are important and valid. If you have concerns or would like to discuss the immunization schedule in more detail, we encourage you to speak directly with your child’s provider. We are committed to open, respectful conversations and to partnering with you in making informed decisions for your child’s health.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s care and for allowing us to continue providing guidance rooted in science, safety, and compassion.
