Why La Mesa Pediatrics recommends all patients be vaccinated?
We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and save lives. We firmly believe in the safety of our vaccines. We firmly believe that all children and young adults should receive all the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and the America Academy of Pediatrics. We firmly believe, based on all available literature and evidence of current studies, that vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.
As medical professionals, we feel very strongly that vaccinating children on schedule is absolutely the right thing to do for all children and young adults. Thank you for choosing La Mesa Pediatrics and entrusting us to care for your children.
