Reviews

“Although shots can feel scary to kids, I know that one of the most important things I do as a pediatrician is keep children up to date with their vaccinations. Dr. Maughan's Bad Bug Busters is a wonderful tool to help turn vaccine visits from something to fear into an opportunity to be a superhero!”

— Rachel Brozinsky, MD (Pediatrician)

“Engaging and developmentally-sensitive, Dr. Maughan's book empowers children and caregivers with information essential for addressing common fears and approaching vaccine appointments with greater confidence.”
