Protecting Your Child with Complete, Timely Coverage.

At Bronx Kids Pediatrics, we believe prevention is the best medicine. Vaccines are a safe, proven way to protect children from serious — and sometimes life-threatening — diseases. By keeping your child up to date on immunizations, you’re not only protecting them but also helping to keep our community healthy.

Why Immunizations Are Important

Vaccines:

  • Protect your child from illnesses like measles, mumps, whooping cough, and polio

  • Help stop the spread of contagious diseases

  • Build long-term immunity for a healthier future

  • Are required for school and daycare enrollment in New York

Our Approach to Vaccination

We follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) immunization schedules to ensure your child receives the right vaccines at the right time. We take the time to:

  • Review your child’s medical history

  • Explain each vaccine and its benefits

  • Address your questions and concerns

  • Provide a calm, supportive environment for both kids and parents
