Vaccinations During COVID-19

A CDC report found a drop in routine child vaccinations due to families staying at home. Children need to be protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend every child continues to receive routine vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the recommended vaccine schedule provides your child with the best protection from potentially serious diseases. 

If your child is due for a well-child visit, call the doctor’s office and ask about ways they safely offer visits during this time. Many medical offices are taking extra steps to make sure that visits can happen safely, including:

  • Scheduling sick visits and well-child visits during different times of the day;
  • Asking patients to remain outside until it’s time for their appointment to reduce the number of people in waiting rooms; and
  • Offering sick visits and well-child visits in different locations.
