Despite what the CDC has posted on its website, this is the truth that scientific research has determined.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently added misleading claims to its autism webpage. We want to be clear: decades of high-quality, large-scale studies show that vaccines do not cause autism. "Parents deserve peace of mind. Decades of rigorous research have shown vaccines do not cause autism," said Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children’s health and help them thrive."

The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rbx4FX

During these stressful times, we will continue to be available for the well-being of your child. For general information on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19), please see the attached link.

In order to continue providing the best care for your children and to reduce the risks for transmitting infection, we have implemented some changes.
--Please limit the number of family members coming to the office; especially those who fall into high-risk categories (older adults, people with chronic lung disease, people with suppressed immune systems and people with diabetes)
--Please call the office to schedule sick visits. This will allow us to stagger appointments to limit the number of people in the waiting room. We will also ask screening questions to help our staff to identify and to prepare for any patients that might be infected with Covid-19.
--If you have been in contact with somebody with Covid-19 infection or recently traveled from an area with higher rates of infection, you will be asked to wear a mask in the office.
--We have removed the books and toys from our waiting room. Since Covid-19 can survive on surfaces for hours, it will be extremely difficult to keep our books and toys sterile.
--Please refrain from using the water fountain in the office. If you are thirsty, please use the bottle filling station or request a water cup.

As the situation changes, we will continue to keep you updated.

​COVID-19 is a new human coronavirus first discovered in China. While we know it’s contagious, it is still not known how easily it spreads from person to person.​
