Children’s Clinic vaccine policy
- We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives.
- We firmly believe in the safety of vaccines.
- We firmly believe that all children and young adults should receive all of the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- We firmly believe, based on all available literature, evidence, and current studies, that vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.
- We firmly believe that vaccinating children and young adults may be the single most important health-promoting intervention we perform as health care providers, and that you can perform as parents/caregivers. The recommended vaccines and the schedule with which they are given are the results of years and years of scientific study and data gathering on millions of children by thousands of the world’s brightest scientists and physicians.
- All patients in the practice will be required to receive vaccines according to the guidelines set forth by the CDC and AAP. Please be advised that delaying or “splitting up the vaccines” is potentially dangerous, and this practice will not be condoned. Any patients who previously started an alternative schedule will be required to become up-to-date on their vaccines at their next appointment. If you choose to refuse to vaccinate your child, we will ask you to find another health care provider who shares your views.
