Immunizations
Recently, there has been confusion and concern surrounding changes announced at the federal level regarding routine childhood immunization recommendations. During times like these, families deserve clear, consistent, and medically sound guidance.
Please know that we remain committed to providing care that is guided by science, experience, and what is best for children—just as pediatricians have done for generations.
With that in mind, Centennial Valley Pediatrics will follow the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for Immunizations.
