At CIPA, we firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives. We follow the recommended vaccine schedule published by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), which advises that all children and young adults receive all the recommended vaccines according to schedule. 

We believe that vaccinating children and young adults is one of the most important health-promoting interventions we can perform as healthcare providers and that you can perform as parents and caregivers.

The recommended vaccines and their schedule result from years of scientific study and data gathered on millions of children by scientists, researchers, and physicians. 

That being said, we recognize that some parents have some concerns surrounding vaccinations. We are open to hearing your concerns and conversing to educate the efficacy and safety of vaccines.

In some cases, parents request to alter the vaccine schedule. PLEASE BE ADVISED HOWEVER THAT DELAYING OR BREAKING UP VACCINES goes against expert recommendations, can put your child at risk for serious illness (or even death), and goes against our medical advice as providers at CIPA. Such additional visits will require additional copays and additional visits on your part. Furthermore, please realize that you will be required to sign a “refusal to vaccinate” form in the event of any delays.

As medical professionals, we feel very strongly that vaccinating our children on schedule is important to protect against serious infections, and we believe it to be one of our most important priorities as your providers.
