Immunization Information
Vaccines have contributed to a significant reduction in many life threatening childhood diseases. We strongly believe in the importance of vaccines. We believe it is important to adhere to an immunization schedule. If you feel differently and do not wish to immunize your child according to the schedule, we will not be able to be your pediatric practice
The American Academy of Pediatrics is sponsoring a new campaign talking about the importance of immunization. There will be Public Service Announcements regarding their "Protect Tomorrow" campaign. Visit their web site dedicated to their campaign. www.ProtectTomorrow.org
