As a parent, you may wonder what goes into childhood vaccines—and that's a good thing. Asking questions means you're being thoughtful about your child's health. Let's take a look at the facts.

What ingredients are in vaccines?

All vaccines contain antigens. Antigens make vaccines work. They prompt the body to create the immune response needed to protect against infection. Antigens come in several forms. The form used in a vaccine is chosen because studies show it is the best way to protect against a particular infection.....

With 23 years of experience, Dr. Boertje, a pediatric emergency room doctor at Novant Health Hemby Children's Hospital, has learned that asking the right questions — and truly listening to parents — is key to diagnosing and treating young patients quickly and effectively. He knows that parents often spot subtle clues before anyone else.

Take the story of a toddler with intermittent fussiness and vomiting. A concerned dad mentioned a symptom others might overlook, leading Dr. Boertje to identify a rare but serious intestinal condition — saving the child’s life.

Or Elijah, a 3-year-old who came into the pediatric ER critically ill with seizures and a high fever. Thanks to Dr. Boertje’s calm, clear communication, Elijah was diagnosed and treated promptly, going on to recover after a long PICU stay.

His fellow team members say Dr. Boertje balances urgency with compassion, simultaneously reassuring parents while racing against the clock to save their children.

Because in pediatric emergency care, you’re not just treating a child — you’re caring for a family in crisis.
