Vaccines are a critical tool for protecting children from serious illnesses like measles, whooping cough, polio, and HPV-related cancers. While these diseases have become less common due to vaccination, they can still pose significant risks. Vaccines are thoroughly tested and monitored for safety, with most side effects being mild and temporary, such as a sore arm or low-grade fever.
As a pediatrician, I aim to address parents’ concerns, whether about the vaccine schedule, side effects, or specific immunizations. Vaccines not only safeguard children but also protect vulnerable members of the community. Open conversations can help families make informed decisions to ensure their child’s health and safety. For more information or to schedule vaccinations with MHHC, families are encouraged to reach out.
