IMPORTANT MESSAGE RE: MEASLES
In light of the first confirmed measles case in Montgomery County, True North Pediatrics wants to assure our patients that we remain in close communication with the Montgomery County Department of Health. The Department of Health has completed all contact tracing for this case as it pertains to our facility. Because of adherence to pertinent safety protocols, there has been minimal exposure to True North Pediatrics staff and patients with this case.
Unless you are traveling to a location where Measles is endemic, there has been no change to the recommended standard MMR vaccine policy. In keeping with the CDC guidelines, measles is preventable with 2 doses of MMR vaccine which True North Pediatrics gives at 12 months of age and then at 4 years of age.
True North Pediatrics continues to strictly follow the AAP and CDC guidelines and will continue to be vigilant to protect the families who place their trust in us.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
