From the Physicians at Leawood Pediatrics

At Leawood Pediatrics, we understand that making decisions about your child's health can feel overwhelming. Our physicians are here to guide and support you with compassion, respect, and the most current medical evidence available. Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect your child-and our community-from serious, preventable illnesses.

We want you to have the tools you need to make informed decisions. The following resources reflect decades of rigorous research and expert consensus from the leading institutions in pediatric medicine.

Our Policy on Vaccination

At Leawood Pediatrics, we require all patients to receive all required vaccines according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) -recommended schedule. This policy reflects our strong belief, as board-certified physicians, that vaccines are essential for the health and safety of your child, other patients in our care, and the broader community.

We are happy to answer your questions and talk with you about any concerns you may have. However, families who choose not to vaccinate will need to transfer care to another practice that aligns with their preferences.

Questions Are Welcome

We know this is a personal decision, and we encourage open, respectful conversations. If you would like to schedule a follow-up to discuss vaccines, please let us know-we are here to help.

With care,

The Physicians of Leawood Pediatrics
