Our Vaccine Policy
Our Vaccine Policy
We firmly believe that vaccinating children and young adults may be the single most important health-promoting intervention we perform as Pediatricians and that you can perform as parents/caregivers. The recommended vaccines and their schedule are the results of decades of scientific study and data gathering on millions of children by thousands of bright, caring, and compassionate scientists and physicians.
We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and save lives.
We recognize that parents have many decisions to make regarding their child’s medical care. We will do everything we can to protect your child’s health as they grow and develop. A vital part of your child’s health relies upon following the most up to date vaccine schedule. Should you have any questions about vaccines, please discuss these with your health care provider in advance of your visit. We do not “break up vaccines” into their components nor do we endorse “alternate” or delayed vaccine schedules. Delaying vaccines to give one or two at a time goes against expert recommendations and leaves your child and other children at risk for infection. Furthermore, should you decide to refuse or significantly delay vaccines for your child, this may result in dismissal from Physicians to Children.
