Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and 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 one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention.
Here is our office's current vaccine schedule.
Delaying vaccines puts your child and the children they come in contact with at risk for severe infections. We need to insure that our office and waiting room are safe for our patients. We strongly discourage delaying vaccines, as there is no evidence that delaying them makes them safer, and it leaves children unprotected for a greater period of time.
There is a great deal of science behind the recommended vaccine schedule. The success of immunizing for many years has allowed many people to worry less about the diseases and now worry about the vaccines instead. The risk of these vaccine-preventable diseases is far greater than unproven concerns about their safety. Your doctor will be happy to discuss any concerns that you may have.
