Immunization Policy

Our office strongly believes in the importance of vaccines. All of our providers believe it is important to stick to the immunization schedule. If there’s a certain schedule you have in mind, please have a printout and the doctor will review to make sure it meets the AAP & CDC recommendations. If you feel differently and do not wish to immunize your child according to our schedule, we may not be a good fit for you and your child. Parents refusing vaccinations will be asked to find another practice.

Common Vaccine Reactions

  • Fever: This is the most common. Give Tylenol.
  • Pain or swelling at the injection site (or fussiness in babies): Give Tylenol. Use ice packs on the day vaccines are given. Use warm packs the next day.
  • Fatigue: After vaccines your child may be more tired than normal.
  • Nodules under skin at injection site: This is the body’s reaction to the vaccine. It is normal and may last a few days to a month. It should not cause your child pain.

Vaccines do NOT cause autism. There have been no studies that have shown a correlation between vaccines and autism. In fact, the most recent studies show no connection between vaccines and autism.
