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).

Office Policies

Immunization Policy

In order to uphold our practice mission is, to provide excellent community based pediatric health care enhancing the overall health and well-being of children and their families--the physicians and staff at Berkeley Pediatric Medical Group, Inc., strongly believe in the importance of universal immunization.

Berkeley Pediatric Medical Group does not accept families who are unwilling to vaccinate their children. This is against our philosophy of high quality, preventive medicine. Feel free to discuss immunization questions with your physician. Please see the Berkeley Pediatrics Immunization Policy.
