Immunizations
The physicians of Brookville Pediatric and Internal Medicine firmly believe in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives. We believe that all children and young adults should receive the recommended vaccines on time and accordance with the schedule published by the ACIP and the American Academy of Pediatrics. To ensure the best care and to protect all patients from vaccine-preventable illnesses, we require full immunizations, on time for children seen in our office. New patients who are not up-to-date on their immunizations will be provided with a schedule to get the vaccinations caught up, as part of our care.
