Immunization Policy for New Patients

Check Out Our Immunization Policy

Under our newly established immunization policy, we are only accepting new patients that fully vaccinate their child or children with all the required immunizations and follow the vaccine schedule guidelines of the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention).

Our doctors believe that vaccination may be the single most important health-promoting and life-saving intervention. This policy has been put in place for the safety and wellbeing of ALL our patients. Call the staff at Pediatric Care of Lansing.

Recommended vs. Required

The state of Michigan adheres to the CDC-recommended vaccination schedule. The schedule is meant to provide the maximum amount of protection for everyone as safely as possible. While some vaccines are not required for school or daycare (Influenza, HPV and HEP A) our practice encourages all vaccines to be administered to all eligible patients. Our providers are here to engage in a respectful conversation with parents and patients regarding the flu shot and HPV vaccine.

Exceptions

There are some children who cannot receive vaccines due to a medical condition. If your child has a documented medical diagnosis that exempts him or her from receiving vaccines, please provide our office these documents for review.
