Immunizations
The routine schedule, at a glance
We follow the routine childhood schedule recommended by public-health experts. In Ontario that's the publicly funded provincial schedule, which works much like the CDC and AAP schedule in the US. Here's the general rhythm. Your pediatrician will confirm what your child needs at every visit.

A general guide, not a plan for your child: names and timing vary a little by province and by child, and your pediatrician will confirm what your child needs at every visit. This whole site is a design demo, so the table is illustrative and not medical advice.
How we handle immunizations
Behind on doses?
Life happens: moves, shortages, long waits, second thoughts. We build catch-up plans quietly and without judgment. Bring whatever records you have, even partial ones.
Have questions? Good.
We recommend routine immunization because the evidence for it is strong, and we'd rather walk you through that evidence than talk past you. Ask us the hard questions. We'll take the time.
Needle-nervous kids
Comfort positions, distraction, numbing options for the truly worried, and clinicians who don't rush the moment. Tell us at booking and we'll plan the visit around it.
