Vaccine Policy
~We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives.
~We firmly believe in the safety of our vaccines.
~We firmly believe that all children and young adults should receive all of the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
~We firmly believe, based on all available literature, evidence, and current studies, that vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.
~We firmly believe that vaccinating children and young adults may be the single most important health-promoting intervention we perform as healthcare providers, and that you can perform as parents/caregivers. The recommended vaccines and the schedule are the results of years and years of scientific study and data gathering on millions of children by thousands of our brightest scientists and physicians.
As medical professionals, we feel very strongly that vaccinating your child on schedule with currently available vaccines is absolutely the right thing to do to protect all children and young adults. Please be advised that delaying or “breaking up the vaccines” to give one or two at a time over two or more visits goes against expert recommendations, can put your child at risk for serious illness (or even death), and goes against our medical advice as professionals at Klebanow & Associates. Such additional visits will require additional co-pays on your part. Please realize that you will also be required to sign a "Refusal to Vaccinate" acknowledgement in the event of lengthy delays.
Our providers are committed to providing the best care possible for our patients and their families. We believe that encouraging timely vaccination for all of our patients is an integral part of that commitment. Please feel free to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about vaccines with any one of us.
