We can never stress enough the importance of getting your children vaccinated.

Canada has officially lost its measles elimination status, and the United States could be next if cases continue to climb. Countries are at risk of losing their elimination status if an outbreak strain of the same virus persists for at least 12 months.

The most effective way to stop the spread of measles and achieve community immunity is through high vaccination rates – two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective in preventing measles.

At Metropolitan Pediatrics, we still believe the best way to keep your children healthy is by getting them vaccinated!

American Academy of Pediatrics has released our annual update to our immunization recommendations to best help children and adolescents build immunity and stay healthy.

Since our founding in the 1930s, the AAP has been creating evidence-based vaccine recommendations that are rooted in the latest science and our deep clinical knowledge about children’s health.

With misinformation about immunizations spreading, AAP is publishing our own, independent vaccine recommendations, including updated recommendations for RSV, influenza, and COVID-19. Read our full policy statement to learn about AAP's updated immunization schedule.
