Protecting Your Child Through Vaccination
Vaccines are one of the most important ways we protect your child's health. We follow the CDC's & the AAP's recommended immunization schedule and take time to answer all your questions, ensuring you feel confident and informed about every vaccine your child receives.
MVP's Vaccine Policy
We at Manhattan Valley Pediatrics believe in evidence based medicine, which has firmly shown the safety of vaccines.
We believe vaccinating children and adolescents is one of our main responsibilities as your pediatrician. In order to best protect our patients, we require families to vaccinate their children.
We strongly encourage following the CDC and AAP vaccination schedule. While we do not believe in any benefit of separating vaccines, we believe in working with families to provide care that is supportive and allows us to grow together.
To this end, we can bring your children back for additional vaccine appointments if you chose to separate vaccines, though we do not encourage this as it leaves your children at risk for serious illness.
If you are unable to commit to completing vaccines by the end of the year in which they are required, we cannot care for your children in this practice. We look forward to working together to keep your family healthy and thriving.
