Which vaccines are given to my child and when?

How do I know if my child is up to date with their vaccinations?

Send a message through the Patient Portal or ask us for a copy during you visit at the clinic.  Someone from our medical assistant staff will contact you within 1-2 business days with information on your child’s vaccine record.

What if I decide not to vaccinate my child?

We encourage all our families to vaccinate their children according to the schedule recommended by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics).  We believe that vaccines are one of the modern medicine’s most important contributions to health.  With this in mind, we require all our patients to be vaccinated at some point.  If you would not like to vaccinate your child, we respectfully ask that you find another clinic that will work with your non-vaccination wishes.
