Edgewood Pediatrics strongly recommends on-time routine immunization of all children and adolescents according to the Recommended Immunization Schedules for Children and Adolescents.
Your child receives two vaccines at each visit from 2 months through 18 months old. Then boosters at 4 & 5 years old, 11 years old and 16 years old.
