Confused about which vaccines your children need? That’s what we’re here for!
At GPM Pediatrics, we can guide you through it all. We have the standard vaccines such as influenza (flu) vaccine, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, chickenpox and so much more. You can benefit from standard immunizations and customized immunizations depending on each individual’s case.
You can stay informed by reading the recommended immunization schedule based on your child’s age and read about numerous different vaccines below.
COVID-19:
Although COVID-19 has fortunately stopped spreading, it is still a present infectious disease. Make sure you and your children are protected!
Questions about the COVID-19 vaccine? Ask away. We want our patients and their parents to feel comfortable and protected. COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for all children ages 6 months and older and booster shots are now recommended for children ages 5+. Since each child has unique needs, please speak to your provider for further details regarding the vaccine/booster shots.
As part of our flexible appointment services, we offer vaccine-only visits, which can be discussed with your provider and our front desk team will assist you in scheduling an appointment. Please remember to bring your child’s immunization card with you for every visit. You can read more about our vaccine-only visits here or call one of our offices for more information.
