Vaccinations are a cornerstone of preventive healthcare, protecting children from serious infectious diseases. Our clinic follows trusted international guidelines to deliver vaccines safely and on time.
Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to protect children from serious, and sometimes life-threatening, diseases like measles, polio, whooping cough, and meningitis. At COVA Pediatrics, we strictly adhere to the immunization schedules recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). We understand that parents may have questions or concerns about vaccines. Our providers are dedicated to having open, transparent conversations with you about vaccine safety, efficacy, and how they work to build your child’s immune system.
Yes. Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing before they are approved and are continually monitored. They are incredibly safe and highly effective at preventing severe illness.
Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as redness or soreness at the injection site, a low-grade fever, or slight fussiness for a day or two.
We highly recommend following the AAP schedule, as it is designed to protect children when they are most vulnerable. However, we are happy to discuss your specific concerns and work with you to ensure your child gets protected.
