Exactly this! Vaccines are safe but parents need a safe space to have discussions, air their concerns and have open conversations.

Trust is not built with dictating a mandated schedule in this time of mistrust and misinformation. VACCINES ARE SAFE and needed but parents need to feel that they have a choice and a pediatrician that will walk that road with them whatever their decisions are.
