Holland Hospital issued the following announcement on Aug. 8.
Perhaps now more than ever, it’s critical to stay up to date on childhood immunizations. Pediatrician Betsy Beckman, MD, discusses why, as well as how Holland Hospital Pediatrics & Internal Medicine is keeping kids safe amid COVID-19.
According to the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services and the CDC, fewer children in the state are currently up to date on their routine vaccinations. The reason for this shortfall? Safety fears related to COVID-19.
“During this pandemic, it’s especially important to protect yourself and your children against vaccine-preventable diseases,” said Dr. Betsy Beckman, a pediatrician with Holland Hospital Pediatrics & Internal Medicine. “Our health care providers have implemented new procedures for kids to safely come in for well visits and get caught up on their needed vaccinations.”
