With the very dramatic resurgence in whooping cough which we have had in Addison County, we are working hard to make sure that all of our patients are fully immunized. We strongly recommend vaccination to protect your child against preventable and possibly serious childhood illness. We understand that parents have many questions regarding immunizations and we strive to answer them for you. We understand that not all our patients are comfortable with the current immunization guidelines and we want to work with you to form a plan for your child in a mutually respectful manner.
