Some individuals wrongly assert there is a link between vaccines and autism. Before the claim was discredited, researchers took it seriously, investigated it thoroughly, and found no link. This research, in many countries, involving thousands of individuals, has spanned multiple decades. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to the autistic community.

Immunizations are important to help children stay healthy, so they can learn, grow and thrive. If parents have questions about vaccines or autism, we encourage them to talk to their child’s pediatrician. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nI0Rnb

CP is not a barrier to learning, growth, or joy. With families, communities, and schools working together, we can build a future that uplifts every child. Let us continue to spread awareness and strengthen inclusion for persons with Cerebral Palsy. 💚

Here's a question commonly asked in the clinic. Here's a good answer ☺️ ⬇️

All vaccines contain antigens that help the body create the immune response needed to protect against an infection. Did you know that kids are exposed to 2,000 - 6,000 antigens every day just by playing on the playground or riding public transit? That’s way more than the number of antigens in any combination of vaccines on the current schedule!

There is no benefit to delaying vaccines – doing so can put your child’s health at risk, especially as the new school year approaches. If you have any questions or concerns about vaccinations for your child, talk with your pediatrician or visit our website.

It's 100 days before Christmas!✨

Keeping our children healthy and sound is one of the ways to end this year and to kickstart next year wonderfully.🩵

No sickness? No problem. A well-child visit is a must to keep our children healthy throughout the year. 🗓️

A well-child visit includes growth and development monitoring, catch-up/booster vaccinations, developmental surveillance/screening, necessary laboratory examinations for age and more! 👧👦

Gentle reminder: An ounce of prevention is better than cure. ⛑️

“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”
