Vaccine Philosophy Statement
- At West Plano Pediatrics we believe that vaccines are one of Public Health’s greatest accomplishments.
- Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing serious illness and disease.
- Vaccines are life saving.
- As Pediatricians, it is our job to serve as advocates for your child’s health.
- Immunizing your child with all of the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is likely the most important health-promoting intervention we perform as physicians and that you can perform as parents /caregivers.
The benefits of vaccination are invisible. Remember by saying “no” to vaccination and “leave it to nature” instead places your child and other children at risk of contracting a range of potentially serious, even fatal, diseases.
