According to the UN public health agency, 1 in 5 children are not receiving routine vaccines that could avert 1.5 million deaths a year due to preventable diseases. Part of the problem stems from rumors, now thoroughly disproven, that vaccines cause autism. This disinformation has resulted in increased measles and pertussis outbreaks in the US, and more specifically in Minnesota in recent years.

The CDC recommends that children from birth to 18 years old follow a vaccine schedule to stay up to date on their vaccinations, prevent illness, and protect people in their community.

Axis can work with your family to keep your children on track by scheduling each of them a well-child check with one of our providers. We will keep track of their vaccinations, height, weight, and any other health concerns you may have.

All childhood vaccines are free and will not cost anything to the family, though there may be other costs associated with your visit.
