HomePlant City Pediatrics follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practice (ACIP). Our practice believes that children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the ACIP. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections, and are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention. We require ALL PATIENTS to follow the recommended vaccine schedule and do not allow alternative schedules.
