Information and Resources for Parents and Caregivers
As a parent, nothing is more important to you than your keiki’s health and well-being.
As pediatricians, we also want your child to grow up healthy, happy and safe. We’re here to help and be a partner to you and your children through each developmental stage. We know there’s a lot of information out there, especially about vaccines. We welcome conversations about your child’s health care and are here to help you navigate important questions.
And if you’re looking for trustworthy information on social media, here’s a great list of pediatricians to follow and to share with family and friends.
Childhood Vaccinations
Kids love to be with other kids, laughing and learning. As a parent, you never know which viruses may ride home with them.
Vaccines teach your child’s immune system how to recognize and resist the most dangerous germs. Thanks to these scientific breakthroughs, serious diseases that once made thousands of kids sick every year have become more and more rare. If you have questions about vaccines, your pediatrician is there to answer them.
