  • Vaccine Notice from St. Luke's Children's
    All St. Luke’s general pediatric providers strongly recommend patients follow the AAP and CDC childhood vaccine schedule. Vaccinating your child is one of your best tools to protect their health.

    While we do not require vaccines to be a patient in our clinics, your provider will discuss the importance of vaccines at every well check-up. We are happy to answer questions and want you to feel confident in the healthcare decisions you make for your child.
  • Recommended Vaccine Schedule
    Please review the recommended childhood immunization schedule provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics:
