When to See Your Doctor
Vaccines are safe and effective and can help prevent against serious illnesses. While vaccines for adults are widely available, the majority of vaccines are given to children. That’s because your child’s immune system is still developing. If you have concerns about vaccines for you or your child, start by asking your family doctor these questions:
- How do vaccines work?
- How long does protection last?
- Do vaccines cause autism?
- What ingredients are in vaccines?
- What are side effects of getting vaccinated?
- If I missed a vaccine dose, how do I catch up?

Data show that at least three out of every four U.S. adults are missing one or more family doctor-recommended vaccines.

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine is a priority, but it’s still important to get all of the vaccinations your family doctor recommends.
I like to talk through the benefits and potential risks of vaccines with my patients. These conversations help them feel more confident about getting recommended vaccinations. And this isn’t just true for the COVID-19 vaccine. I also help my patients understand the importance of other vaccines for adults and children.
