Vaccinations for Children
COVID-19 has reminded us at Peak Pediatrics why vaccinations are so important.
We believe in the safety of vaccines and want to help make sure our patients are up to date on their shots. At all well-checks, we will go over the recommended vaccination for your child. We want to provide you with the best information about vaccines.
We will not turn away patients due to their vaccination decision but will always talk about vaccines at well-visits as they can be life-saving. As providers, we have seen patients die from vaccine-preventable illnesses.
Please let us know any concerns or questions you have about vaccinations, our providers are here to help.
