An important message from the physicians at La Peer Pediatrics regarding our stance on vaccines.
Vaccines are a very important part of your child’s health and the physicians at our practice would like to remind parents who choose us as their child’s doctors, that we follow the American Academy of Pediatrics Recommended Child & Adolescent Immunization Schedule. Getting your child vaccinated on time is the best way to keep them healthy. Choosing alternate vaccine schedules or choosing not to vaccinate your child puts them at risk for serious illnesses, illnesses that can be prevented. Caring for your child and providing proper medical care is our job, and we take it very seriously. Children need to get their vaccines on time so they can benefit from the protection they provide. The recommended schedule is designed to work best with their immune systems at various ages. This is based on complete, science-based information. We feel very strongly about this and are unable to work with families who will not agree to following the AAP recommended schedule. Please speak with your doctor if you have more questions.
