We firmly believe that all children and young adults should receive all of the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Please see our office Immunization Policy.
Regarding CoVID Vaccination: We recommend all of our eligible patients (6 months and above) to receive CoVID vaccination. As this is a newly developed vaccine, we encourage a discussion with any of our providers if there are concerns or questions. We also encourage both expecting-mothers and those who are breastfeeding to receive the CoVID vaccine, assuming their own physician is in agreement.
