Vaccines are the best protection for your child
Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your child’s health. At each appointment, I review the vaccination record, inform you which vaccines are due by age, and guide you on complementary vaccines that may benefit your little one. I administer vaccines with proper technique to minimize pain, give post-vaccination recommendations, and with my emergency medicine training, I can manage any reaction.

How does Vaccination work?
Simple and safe process to protect your child from preventable diseases.
Vaccination Record Review
I verify what vaccines your child has received and which ones are due according to their age and the national schedule. I identify if there are delayed vaccines that need to be caught up.
Pre-vaccination Assessment
I verify that your child is healthy enough to receive vaccines. I check temperature, if there’s any active infection, or temporary contraindications. A mild cold WITHOUT fever generally does NOT prevent vaccination.
Safe Vaccine Administration
I administer vaccines with proper technique in the correct site according to age. For babies I use comfort techniques (nursing, skin-to-skin contact, distraction). For older children I briefly explain and use distraction.
Post-vaccination Guidance
I explain what reactions are normal (mild fever, local pain, irritability), how to manage them (acetaminophen, cold compresses), and warning signs. We schedule the next dose date. Complete record in official vaccination card.
