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.

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.
