As a pediatric practice, we believe caring for children also means caring for the communities they grow up in. In that spirit, we stand in support of the National Shutdown on January 30, 2026. While our office will remain open to provide essential healthcare services to our patients and families, we are joining this day of collective action in meaningful ways as a practice. Our commitment is to continue showing up for children’s health while also standing with our community and the values of care, responsibility, and solidarity.

Pathogens have not changed, only "policies".    Berkeley Pediatrics does not anticipate any changes to our vaccine schedule or to the availability of vaccines to our patients. We stand by the American Academy of Pediatrics published vaccine schedule which is also supported by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA).   

One Year Advance Well Visit Scheduling:  Berkeley Pediatrics is now scheduling well visits one year in advance.  Secure your preferred date and time today through MyChart

2025-2026 Influenza vaccines and COVID vaccines are still available:  Please schedule an appointment now through MyChart or contact the office.  It's shaping up to be a pretty bad influenza season so prepare your family!

MEASLES INFORMATION:  As you may have been hearing in the news, there has been a rise in measles cases in some states US as well as internationally.  Fortunately, we are not currently experiencing transmission of measles in our area.  Here is a great site with information about measles and what you can do to provide your child. https://www.healthychildren.or...
