At Sunshine Pediatrics, LLC, we firmly believe in the effectiveness and safety of childhood vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives, and we fully support the vaccination of all children and young adults. Vaccines have saved more lives in the past century than any other medical intervention and, as a result, most people in this country have never seen a child with polio, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), bacterial meningitis or chicken pox. Indeed, vaccinating children and young adults may be the single most important health-promoting intervention we perform as healthcare providers, and that you can perform as responsible parents and guardians.
