While pediatric surgeons do not give vaccines, we strongly support and promote complete, on-schedule childhood vaccination as recommended by top health organizations. As surgeons, we see the effects of vaccine-preventable diseases and believe vaccination is one of the most important steps a parent can take to protect their child's health.

A strong vaccination schedule is essential because it protects not just your child but also vulnerable community members, including infants who are too young to be vaccinated and children receiving chemotherapy.

Vaccines are a key part of preventive healthcare. They greatly reduce the need for hospitalization and surgeries due to infectious complications. We work closely with your child's pediatrician to keep your child healthy and safe from serious, disabling, and potentially deadly diseases. Protecting your child through vaccination is crucial for their long-term well-being.
