At Saint Alphonsus Medical Group, we care deeply about the health and safety of our patients. We believe that vaccines are one of the most important ways to protect children and adults from serious diseases. Getting vaccinated can prevent illness and save lives.

We recommend that all patients get the vaccines suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These vaccine schedules are based on many years of research and data collected from millions of children by thousands of doctors and scientists.

We understand that some parents and caregivers may have concerns about vaccines. We are here to help by answering your questions and giving you clear, reliable information. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to talk with your healthcare provider.

As healthcare professionals, we strongly believe that vaccines are the right choice to protect both individual patients and the community. Please feel free to ask us any questions or share any concerns you may have.
