Immunizations are a crucial part of keeping your child healthy and protected from serious 

diseases. Vaccines undergo rigorous testing and continuous monitoring to ensure they are safe and effective. Here’s what you need to know:

How Vaccines are Tested:

Before a vaccine is approved, it goes throughextensive laboratory testing and clinical trials involving thousands of volunteers. These tests evaluate the vaccines safety, effectiveness, and proper dosage.

Ongoing Monitoring:

Even after approval, vaccines are continuously monitored for safety. Systems like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) allow healthcare providers and patients to report any side effects, ensuring any concerns are quickly addressed.

Common Side Effects:

Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as pain or swelling at the injection site, a low-grade fever, or fussiness. Serious side effects are extremely rare.

Why Vaccines are Safe:
The United States has one of the most advanced systems in the world for tracking vaccine safety. Every batch of vaccines is tested forquality and safety, and the manufacturing process is closely regulated.

Benefits Outweigh Risks:

The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks. Vaccines protect not only the individual receiving them but also the community by preventing the spread of diseases.

Ensuring your child’s immunizations are up to date is one of the best ways to protect their health and the health of those around them. 

Who Needs to be Present:

For any vaccination appointment, the legal parent or guardian must be present.

Are Delayed or Separated Vaccines Available:

We do offer delayed vaccines, but we do not offer separate vaccines (For example: we cannot separate the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine).
