Immunization Info

We know how much you love your children. We do, too! That’s why we follow the science: vaccines are safe, effective, and protect the ones we love. 

Our goal, as your Pediatricians, is to help you make well-informed decisions regarding your child’s health. One of the most effective ways to keep your child safe from preventable life-threatening diseases is to complete all recommended childhood vaccines according to the immunization schedule set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control.  

Vaccines save millions of lives and protect everyone against the spread of disease. Part of our job as your Pediatrician is to make it explicitly clear that incomplete vaccination leaves your child at risk for death and disability. The recommended immunization schedule has been studied extensively to show that they are both safe and effective. Complete vaccination is important for keeping the risk of these infections low in our community.  

Your child’s comfort is our priority. Our team is committed to making every needle experience as gentle and positive as possible. Please ask about these interventions at your next appointment.
