Our Vaccine Policy

Commitment to

Protection Through Immunization

Recent media coverage has raised questions about vaccine safety and side effects. We want to clearly state our position: vaccines are safe, effective, and essential to protecting children and our community.

Our practice firmly believes in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. Immunizations protect children and young adults from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. All children and young adults in our practice are expected to receive the full series of vaccines according to the schedule established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which is grounded in extensive scientific research and continuous safety monitoring.

Vaccination is one of the most important health-promoting interventions we provide as healthcare professionals — and one of the most important steps parents and caregivers can take to protect their child. Extensive research has consistently shown that vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.

Vaccines have been so successful that many of us have never witnessed illnesses such as measles, polio, tetanus, whooping cough, bacterial meningitis, or severe chickenpox. The rarity of these diseases today is a direct result of their success. However, when vaccination rates decline, outbreaks of preventable diseases increase — putting children and vulnerable members of our community at risk.

As medical professionals, we strongly believe that vaccinating on schedule with currently recommended vaccines is the right choice for all children and young adults. As part of our commitment to providing the highest standard of care, we expect our patients to remain current on all recommended AAP immunizations.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s health. We are always available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding vaccines or our vaccination policy.
