Vaccinations
East Bay Pediatrics supports vaccinating all children. Some families desire to spread out immunizations; however the practice has set a minimum vaccine requirement In order to protect all of our patients and ensure proper advice is given to all families in the event of illness. If your child is behind the practice's routine vaccine schedule, please notify any health care provider, even within our practice, when discussing your child's health or an illness. Medical decisions may depend on whether your child has been fully vaccinated.
