Vaccinations - We understand that vaccinations have been a controversial topic. We believe that vaccinations are beneficial to your child’s health. We require that our patients get the school-required vaccinations. We are open to having a conversation about the schedule you feel comfortable with. We do not require, but do encourage, our patients to get the flu and Covid vaccines as well.
