Immunizations

At St. Luke’s, your child’s health and development are our priority. That’s why our pediatric providers follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, which outlines when children and teens should receive vaccines to stay protected as they grow.

This schedule reflects the most current, evidence-based guidance available. All recommended vaccines have been carefully evaluated for safety and effectiveness and are licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The immunization schedule is designed to support healthy immune system development and provide timely protection against serious, preventable illnesses. Staying on schedule helps safeguard infants, children, and teens from diseases such as measles and whooping cough, as well as common respiratory viruses including RSV, influenza, and COVID-19.

Vaccination also plays an important role in community health. When more people are immunized, it helps reduce the spread of disease and protects those who are unable to receive vaccines themselves.

If you have questions about your child’s immunizations, your St. Luke’s pediatrician is here to help.
