Pediatrics of Florence Receives an "Excelence in Public Health" award from the Northern Kentucky Health Department

Burlington, Kentucky May 7, 2009The Northern Kentucky Health Department’s 2009 “Excellence in
Public Health” awards recognize pediatric practices in Northern Kentucky who achieve a 90 percent or greater result in children receiving their required immunizations by 2 years of age.  The awards are presented to honor those people in Northern Kentucky who have shown progress toward achieving and maintaining a healthier community.  Winners are nominated and selected by Health Department staff for work done in collaboration with the Health Department.  

 

Pediatrics of Florence is one of only four pediatric practices in Northern Kentucky to have immunization coverage rates of 90 percent or higher, meaning that 90 percent or more of patients in these practices have received the recommended childhood immunizations by age 2.

 

“Although vaccines are extremely safe and effective, they have gotten a lot of undeserved bad press in the last few years,” said Rob Tagher, M.D., managing partner at Pediatrics of Florence.  “Keeping our patients up-to-date and healthy in this environment is difficult.  I’m glad our practice has succeeded in doing its part to help.”
