One of the most cost effective and important preventive healthcare services any pediatrician provides is vaccinations.

Pediatricians across the Sutter Health network follow the vaccine safety recommendations created by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Academy of Pediatrics, Infectious Diseases Society of America and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These agencies unanimously agree that well-studied vaccines given according to safety-tested schedules offer the best protection for children.

Immunizations - Ages Birth to 17 years

Flu Clinics

Sutter Health schedules annual flu shot clinics in the fall and winter to make it easy for every child to get his or her flu shot. Most are walk-in clinics, which means you do not need to make an appointment ahead of time. Ask your child’s pediatric clinic about when flu clinics are scheduled in your area.
