Our Vaccine Policy Statement

At Tanque Verde Pediatrics, we strongly believe in the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Vaccines are vital in protecting individuals from preventable diseases and safeguarding vulnerable populations who cannot be vaccinated.

We understand that vaccine decisions can be complex and emotional. However, to ensure the health and safety of all our patients, we require that all children in our practice receive vaccines according to CDC guidelines unless there is a valid medical reason that prevents vaccination. Personal or philosophical objections to vaccination are not acceptable grounds for exemption.

If you choose not to follow this vaccination policy, you will be discharged from our practice as we believe your family would be better served at an office whose policies align with your views.

We encourage families to utilize reliable and trusted sources such as The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Vaccine Education Center and Immunize.Org. Additionally, if you have any specific concerns or questions about vaccines, our physicians are available to provide evidence-based information and support.

Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your child and helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all our patients.

Sincerely,
The Doctors at Tanque Verde Pediatrics
