Vaccine Recommendations for Your Child
At Cook Children’s, our clinicians have one clear goal: the health and safety of your child. We know you look to us for clarity and expert guidance when it comes to protecting your family.
Our Recommendation
Our position aligns with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and is rooted in decades of research and safety monitoring. Vaccines remain the safest, most effective defense against serious diseases like measles, polio, and whooping cough. Following the complete childhood and adolescent immunization schedule recommended by the AAP is the best way to keep your child healthy and our community safe.
A Partnership Built on Trust
Your child's doctor is your best resource for health information. We are committed to:
- Listening with Respect: We are here to hear your concerns and provide transparent, fact-based information without judgment.
- Shared Decision-Making: We want you to feel empowered. We partner with you to ensure you feel informed and confident in your health care choices.
- Safety First: We recommend vaccines because we see firsthand the protection they provide. We use the best medical evidence available to guard your child’s future.
We Are Here for You
We encourage you to speak openly with your Cook Children’s clinician about the immunization schedule during your next visit. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a specialty consultation, you deserve expert guidance.
