Immunization Policy

At Weissbluth Pediatrics, we strongly believe in the benefits of immunizations and follow the schedule endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Vaccinations are important for children and the community. Refusing to vaccinate leaves not only your child at risk, but puts children who are too young to be vaccinated and persons medically unable to be immunized at risk.

It is for these reasons that we only see patients who vaccinate according to this schedule. Please be aware that we do not follow alternative schedules such as leaving certain vaccines out, delaying vaccines, or splitting vaccines up to give one or two at a time. Doing these things goes against expert recommendations, and can put your child at risk for serious illness from preventable diseases. We recognize that the choice to vaccinate may be a very emotional one for some parents. We are here to answer your questions should you have any concerns. However, if you ultimately decide that you do not wish to follow this schedule for your child, we will have to ask you to find another provider who shares your view.

Thank you. - The WP Team
