Pediatric Vaccinations at The Piedmont Clinic
Vaccines protect more than just your child — they help keep entire families and communities healthy, safe, and thriving.
A Simple Shot That Changes Everything
For most parents, the thought of needles isn’t the issue — it’s the unknown.
What’s in the vaccine? When does my child need it? Are there risks? Do they all really matter?
We get it. There’s a lot of noise out there. But here’s the truth: pediatric vaccines are one of the safest, most powerful tools we have to protect children from serious illness — and they’ve been doing it successfully for generations.
At The Piedmont Clinic, we keep it clear, science-based, and compassionate. We’re here to protect your child’s health — and earn your trust doing it.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
The magic lies in the combo:
🔹 Microneedles puncture the skin’s surface, triggering a wound-healing response
🔹 RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis and subdermal tissue
🔹 Together, they stimulate collagen, elastin, and cell turnover
This tightens loose skin, smooths wrinkles, fades scars, and even melts fat in treated areas. Unlike surface-only microneedling, Morpheus8 penetrates up to 4mm, making it ideal for more dramatic facial and body rejuvenation.
Why Childhood Vaccinations Matter
Babies and young children are more vulnerable to viruses and infections. Their immune systems are still developing — which means even a minor illness can turn serious fast.
Vaccines are designed to train their immune system before it’s ever exposed to a real threat. That means fewer ER visits, less risk of long-term complications, and peace of mind for you as a parent.
Vaccines don’t just protect your child — they protect newborn siblings, grandparents, classmates, and anyone else who might not be able to get vaccinated themselves.
What Vaccines Will My Child Need?
Here’s a breakdown of common childhood immunizations:
Hepatitis B (HepB) – Prevents liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus
DTaP – Protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough)
Polio (IPV) – Protects against paralysis caused by poliovirus
MMR – Protects against measles, mumps, and rubella
Varicella – Prevents chickenpox
Hib – Protects against Haemophilus influenzae type B, a serious bacterial infection
Pneumococcal (PCV13) – Protects against pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections
Rotavirus – Prevents severe diarrhea and dehydration in babies
Hepatitis A (HepA) – Prevents liver infection from contaminated food/water
Influenza (Flu Shot) – Given yearly to prevent serious flu complications
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) – Recommended during pre-teen years to prevent cancers caused by HPV later in life
Meningococcal – Protects against bacterial meningitis in teens
We follow the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule — personalized to your child’s age, medical history, and any specific needs or delays.
What if I’m Behind?
No stress. Life happens — and kids miss appointments sometimes. We’ll help you get caught up with a catch-up schedule that’s safe, efficient, and medically sound.
Our job is to make the process simple — not stressful.
Are Vaccines Safe?
Yes. Pediatric vaccines go through extensive clinical testing, FDA approval, and real-world monitoring before ever reaching your child.
Side effects, if any, are usually mild: slight fever, redness or soreness at the injection site, and maybe a fussy afternoon.
Our team walks you through every dose — what it’s for, what to expect, and when you’ll need the next one. No surprises.
