Vaccines can save lives
Vaccinating children and young adults may be the most important thing you can do to protect your child’s health.
We firmly believe in the effectiveness and safety of vaccines to prevent serious illness and save lives. We follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) immunization guidelines.
It's important to get information about vaccines from trustworthy websites that will give you accurate and up-to-date information. In addition to our website, here are two we recommend:
