Vaccines remain one of the most effective ways to protect children and communities from serious illness. Therefore, despite recent changes announced by the CDC, South Shore Medical Center's vaccine recommendations remain the same and continue to follow the scientific-based guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics. With that in mind, our vaccine recommendations will not change and will continue to follow the scientific evidence and guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

In light of the rapidly evolving situation surrounding COVID-19, South Shore Health today announced new limitations on surgical procedures at South Shore Hospital, effective Wednesday, March 18.

The growing number of coronavirus cases across Massachusetts has led to new guidance from the state, which requires us to postpone select inpatient surgeries to keep beds open in the event they are needed for critically ill patients.
