We at Holliston Pediatrics believe that fully vaccinating your child is one of the most important things we can do to protect your child’s health. We understand that there are differing opinions surrounding childhood immunizations and that there is a lot of discussion about vaccines among parents and on the internet. We firmly believe in the safety of childhood vaccines, and we believe that immunizing your child according to the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is the best way to prevent serious illness and save lives.
There is no alternative immunization schedule recommended by the AAP or the CDC. There is no proven benefit to splitting vaccines, and this can lead to medical errors, leaving your child under-vaccinated and at risk for preventable diseases. We are committed to helping you feel comfortable with the decision to vaccinate your child according to the recommended schedule.
The presence of under-vaccinated children in our offices puts our patients who are too young to be vaccinated or who are immunocompromised at risk of exposure to serious infections.
Unfortunately, families who refuse to vaccinate their children according to the AAP and CDC recommended schedule may be asked to leave the practice.
We thank you for entrusting us with the care of your children.
