Leaf Medical, a primary care center in Dumbo is a contributor for health relatic topics. Dr. Stephanie Shaps, a pediatrician at Leaf Medical writes a post about a vaccine most children should get during winter that most parents don’t know about.

“As a new pediatrician in the neighborhood I thought I would introduce myself by reaching out to parents on this site by writing a few words, a short blog one might say. I am a practicing pediatrician and mom of two young kids myself (ages 5 and 2yrs), so I am right in the parenting trenches with you! I am so excited to now be practicing in the great neighborhood of DUMBO and look forward to hopefully meeting you at our office, Leaf Medical, soon!

As I have been meeting with many expectant parents, I thought I could provide a little information on an important intervention you can do now to help protect your new baby – making sure you receive your Tdap vaccine!”
