What to Expect at Your Next Well Visit
The following is a list of all routine well exams and associated immunizations or screening tests suggested by Abington Pediatrics. Our immunization schedule is based on the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Please note that while we at Abington Pediatrics recommend all of the vaccines listed below, those in italics are not current Massachusetts school requirements.
Remember, after age three we encourage a yearly physical for your child even if they are not due for any immunizations.
We are a pro-vaccine practice. Vaccines are extremely effective in preventing illness and saving lives.
