At Porter Pediatrics we aim to keep kids as safe and healthy as possible, and we believe Immunizations are one of the success stories of modern medicine, as they protect children from harmful illnesses.
Getting your child vaccinated on the recommended schedule is the best way to protect them and keep them healthy.
Researchers are always studying how long vaccine protection lasts, how many doses we need and how much time between doses works best. That is why your child needs the flu shot every year, but for another vaccine, your child may develop lifelong protection from two or more doses spaced months or years apart. Following the recommended vaccine schedule likely safest and most effective.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions on the vaccines or the illnesses they prevent.
