Before the shots

We tell you which vaccines are due at this visit and what each one protects against. Ask anything. We would rather talk it through than rush.
After the shots

Some children are fussy or sore afterward. Call us if you are worried, day or night. In an emergency, call 911.
Questions about vaccines
Can we catch up on missed shots?
Yes. Bring your child's shot record and we will plan the catch-up with you.
Do you need my child's shot record?
Yes, for a new patient. Ask your old pediatrician to send it, or sign a release and we will request it.
