All children throughout Georgia should still receive their routine checkups and vaccinations

Did your child recently miss a checkup, or a “C-D-C”-recommended vaccination? Doctor Ericka Russell-Petty has an important message… “As a pediatrician in Georgia, I have seen how devastating vaccine-preventable diseases can be, to the health of our children. Across the United States, there’s been a decline in routine vaccinations administered to children, since March 2020—compared to the previous year. The ‘American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommends that all children continue to attend routine checkups—and receive vaccinations—during a pandemic. Don’t delay! Contact your child’s doctor, to help keep your child on track.” Families without vaccine-insurance coverage may be eligible for vaccines at low, or no, cost—through the “Vaccines for Children”-program.
