Immunizations

We at T.LC. Pediatrics of Norwalk, CT believe that immunizations are the cornerstone of pediatric care. For the safety of all of our patients and our staff, we require all of our patients to receive the vaccines as recommended by the AAP and ACIP (American Academy of Pediatrics and the Advisory Committee n Immunization Practices), as follows:   Immunization Schedule

Medication Dosages

We do not recommend over-the-counter cough/cold preparations for children under 6 years of age. Also, with the exception of some refills, we do not diagnose and treat over the phone. In most circumstances, your child will need to be seen first to diagnose and treat for the appropriate condition with the fitting medication, if any. This ensures that your child is getting the best quality of care.
