Early childhood immunizations

We believe in providing the best care possible for our community. We understand that the decision to immunize your child may be difficult due to confounding news reports. This is why we at Sharp Health Plan, in partnership with our community pediatricians, would like to provide you with information to help you feel comfortable with this important decision.

Parents make tough choices every day—immunizing against deadly or debilitating disease should not be one of them.
