We do accept families choosing an alternate vaccine schedule if they are willing to follow the tenets of the Patient Agreement. We strongly encourage vaccination and require parents opting to vaccinate off the recommended schedule sign a ‘Refusal to Vaccinate’ form each time vaccines are offered acknowledging their choice and giving a reason for their decision to opt out. If you are vaccinating on an alternate schedule we encourage you to set up a 30 minute Vaccine Consultation appointment as your first visit with the provider so you can discuss the schedule you plan to follow, learn the process our office uses to schedule the ‘vaccine only’ visits, and have all of your questions and concerns about vaccines answered. New patients to the practice as of March 2, 2015 will need to initiate vaccination of their infants by 6 months of age and older infants and children behind on vaccines within a month of joining the practice as part of our new vaccine policy. For more information about our vaccination views and policy, see our Vaccine page.
