Vaccinations can be controversial for some families. Are they safe?

It’s really important to sit with your doctor to discuss your concerns. We are in favor of vaccinations; the benefits far outweigh the risks. For instance, if you have ever seen a child with pertussis (whooping cough) you would know how awful it is. If you don’t vaccinate your child, you are creating a risk and a dependency that everyone else has been vaccinated.
