vaccine policies

At Complete Children’s Health our pediatricians, providers and staff dedicate their efforts to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. One very important step in ensuring the health of any child is to make sure he or she receives immunizations at the correct time.  CCH follows the outlined scheduled by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP).  Vaccines prevent serious disease and have helped to lower the rates of these disease in the U.S. By getting vaccinated, individual children receive protection from these diseases.

Vaccines also help to protect communities by slowing or stopping disease outbreaks. This is especially important for children who cannot be vaccinated because they are too young, too sick, or do not respond to vaccines.  When you have a question about immunizations, check with your child’s doctor and we will listen to your questions and concerns intently.  Our providers will guide you to the tools you need to make the best decision for your child’s health.

We firmly believe in the safety vaccines.

We firmly believe in the power of vaccines to prevent serious illness.

We firmly believe that, based on all available scientific inquiries, that vaccines do not cause

autism.

We firmly believe that all children should be vaccinated according to CDC/AAP schedule.

We firmly believe that vaccines are in the best interest of your child, family and the community.

During each visit that a vaccine is recommended, we will provide you with a Vaccine Information Statement which discusses the vaccine, its benefits and any possible side effects. Many of your questions about vaccines can be answered ahead of time by consulting the CDC “Vaccines for Your Children” website www.CDC.gov/vaccines

We have the expectation that by entering Complete Children’s Health pediatric practice your child will be afforded the opportunity to follow these guidelines and stay up to date on recommended immunizations. You are welcome to start vaccinating your child at this point. If you do not vaccinate according to recommended schedule, however, you will need to find a new health care provider for your child.
