The reemergence of Measles and other vaccine preventable diseases has underlined the importance of immunizations. We believe in the safety of vaccines and want to help make sure our patients are up to date on their shots. We will go over the recommended vaccinations for your child at all Well Child checks. We want to provide you the best information about immunizations. As providers, we have seen patients die from vaccine-preventable illnesses.
We will not turn away patients due to their vaccination decision but will always talk about vaccines at Well Child checks as they can be life-saving.
Please let us know any concerns or questions you have about immunizations. We are here to help answer all your questions.
