Vaccines & well visits
Vaccines and well visits at Uptown Pediatrics
Checkups and vaccines, right on schedule, at our Upper East Side office. Immunizations are one of the great success stories of modern medicine. We strongly recommend all children receive immunizations on the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule.
Vaccine schedule
Today, most children in the United States lead much healthier lives, and parents live with far less anxiety about serious childhood infections. The AAP schedule is carefully designed, based on extensive research, to protect children at the safest and most effective times in their development.
There's a lot of information (and misinformation) about vaccines online and on social media. If you have questions or concerns, please talk with us. We're always happy to have thoughtful conversations and partner with families to keep children healthy and protected.

Book ahead
Make well visits four to eight weeks in advance. If there are concerns, especially in the first few months, your doctor may want to see your child more often.
Beat the rush
Schedule yearly physicals in your child's birthday month to avoid the school and camp crunch in May, June, August, and September. Book newborn exams at the start of office hours.
