These immunizations not only prevent your children from developing preventable diseases but also protect infants who haven't yet received vaccines and people who can't receive immunizations due to health reasons. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, studies have shown no link between autism and immunizations. Most children will only experience mild side effects, such as low fevers or irritability, for a day or two after receiving a vaccine in our Raleigh office.

It's never too late for your child to be immunized against common childhood diseases. Schedule your child's immunizations by calling the pediatricians at White Oak Pediatrics in Raleigh, NC at (919) 787-0266.
