You're likely hearing conflicting information about vaccines lately—including the Hepatitis B vaccine for children. Glacial Ridge will continue to follow guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Minnesota Department of Health to support safe, evidence-based care for kids.

Our focus remains the same—protecting kids from serious, preventable diseases.

If you have questions about childhood vaccines, start the conversation with your trusted provider. Their role is to help parents understand the options and support decisions that are in their child’s best interest.

Here are some resources to review.
