At Compass Pediatrics, we believe vaccines are one of the most important ways to protect your child and our community from preventable diseases.

We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended immunization schedule because it’s based on the latest research and designed for your child’s safest, most effective protection.

We understand some parents may have questions, and we’re here to listen, guide, and support those conversations. However, to ensure a safe environment for all patients, especially those who are too young or medically unable to be vaccinated, we can only continue care with families who follow our vaccine policy (https://www.myprivia.com/compasspeds/about-us).

Together, we can protect every child, one vaccine at a time. 💙

Not all flu vaccines are the same and that’s a good thing!
Flucelvax is a cell-based flu vaccine designed for children 6 months and older, offering strong protection without using eggs in production.

That means fewer limitations, reliable results and the same trusted safety backed by science.

Now’s the perfect time to get your family flu-ready, ask us if Flucelvax is right for your child!

Trick or Treating is fun, costumes and candy but safety comes first!
Before your little princesses and superheroes head out, keep these tips in mind:

🕯 Choose bright, reflective costumes for visibility
🍭 Check treats before eating
🚶‍♀️ Stick to well-lit paths and stay with a group
🚗 Watch for cars, drivers may have a harder time seeing at night
💡 Remind kids: if something feels unsafe, skip it

At Compass Pediatrics, we want every child to enjoy the Trick or Treating of Halloween safely with more treats and fewer tricks! 👻

Vaccine schedules have changed over time, not because kids need “more shots,” but because science keeps getting better.
Each update means stronger protection against more diseases and safer timing for growing immune systems.

See https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-schedule/science-behind-vaccine-schedule for more information.

Experts review vaccine data every year to make sure kids get the right doses at the right time. It’s how we’ve gone from widespread illness to stronger, healthier generations.

At Compass Pediatrics, we trust the science and we’re here to help you understand every step of your child’s vaccine journey.
