Daily life is more taxing to our immune systems than all vaccines.

All vaccines contain antigens that help the body create the immune response needed to protect against an infection. Did you know that kids are exposed to 2,000 - 6,000 antigens every day just by playing on the playground or riding public transit? That’s way more than the number of antigens in any combination of vaccines on the current schedule!

There is no benefit to delaying vaccines – doing so can put your child’s health at risk, especially as the new school year approaches. If you have any questions or concerns about vaccinations for your child, talk with your pediatrician or visit our website.

We pay thousands upfront for vaccines and hope to break even for children that have private insurance. Thankfully we can get vaccines for uninsured and Medicaid insured children from the state. We can charge insurance a small fee for administering the vaccine only. We can't afford to stock most vaccines for adults because we don't get reimbursed at all by insurance.

As the new school year approaches, don’t forget one of the most important items on your checklist: vaccinations! Keeping your child up to date on immunizations protects them—and others—from serious diseases like measles, whooping cough, and more.

✅ Check with your doctor or local health department
📅 Schedule appointments early to avoid the rush
📘 Healthy kids learn better!

Let’s keep our schools safe and our kids healthy.

Vaccines train our bodies army, the immune system, how to fight off invading viruses and bacteria. "Natural" immunity is like going into battle without training.

We are losing Downtown Dayton's Only pharmacy in August. CVS at Courthouse Square. We are disappointed and worried for our patients who cannot travel to further out stores. We would love to see that space filled by an independent pharmacy.

Polio has not been eradicated in the world. We will, unfortunately, see its resurgence in the US if vaccination rates continue to decline.
