Our Vaccine Philosophy
Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and the CDC. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections, and are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention.
We require all patients to be fully immunized by 2 years of age. We are willing to work with families to achieve this goal in a timely manner.
We require all older children and teens to follow the Immunization Schedule recommended by the CDC.
We are happy to discuss your concerns about vaccines at your child's next visit.
