Our Vaccine Philosophy
Our providers believe in effectiveness of vaccines. We follow the CDC guidelines and the American Academy of Pediatrics for immunizations. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing serious illnesses/diseases and health complications in children/young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections and are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention. Our practice is not able to see patients who have chosen not to vaccinate.
We are happy to discuss an accelerated catch-up vaccine schedule if your child is behind on recommended vaccines at their next well visit.
