Vaccination rates are available on public databases. At Ashland Children’s Clinic we do require that patients receive vaccinations against RESPIRATORY TRANSMITTED diseases in order to be a patient. This not only protects your child but also protects other children who share the same space and cannot be immunized for medical reasons (such as transplant medications or cancer therapy) or have immune system problems. Diseases that are vaccine preventable and transmitted by breathing the same air are

Pertussis (whooping cough)
Diphtheria
Spinal meningitis (due to Hemophilus influenza type b and meningococcus)
Pneumococcal disease ( pneumonia and meningitis)
Varicella (chicken pox)
Measles
Mumps
Rubella

Influenza, COVID and RSV are transmitted by respiratory droplets but do not cause severe Illness in most people at this time. Influenza and COVID both mutate and severe strains may circulate periodically (swine flu, original COVID strain). Even thought they ARE transmitted by respiratory droplets, we do not require these

Vaccines that prevent diseases that require ingestion or exposure to body fluids are recommended but NOT required to be a patient. These are

Rotavirus
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
HPV
Tetanus

Some vaccines are only available in combinations of more than one virus/bacteria.

Chikungaya virus in China is in the news today. THIS IS NOT A NEW VIRUS. It is transmitted by the bite of a mosquito (like malaria also is) and is primarily found in countries along the equator. A vaccine for this already exists and is recommended for those who travel to certain areas. 🦟🦟🦟

FINALLY! Roof repair (to be followed by interior repairs) has begun. Winter was not kind to our building. I'm already asking for temperature amd safety mercies as the construction people will be on top of the building.

Please bear with us during this process.

Best evidence suggests using only mineral based sunscreen. Oxybenzone is a chemical in many formulas that may be harmful. Sprays and powders have an inhalation risk - lotion is the best.
