Thanks to vaccines, most parents and grandparents do not have to watch their children suffer from diseases that were common just a few decades ago.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has updated the Recommended Childhood and Adolescence Immunization Schedule. South Lake Pediatrics uses this schedule as a standard of care.

American Academy of Pediatrics Immunization Initiative may provide you with additional information on immunizations.

Don’t let cost keep you from immunizing your kids. If you don’t have insurance, the Minnesota Vaccines for Children Program (MNVFC) can help. This website can be used as a tool to help determine if you qualify for the program.
