What's New


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, the Center for Disease

Control and the AAPm the 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. Vaccines have successfully prevented polio, tetanus, bacterial meningitis, and chickenpox. Most of you will

never know a child affected by polio due to the years of vaccinating our general population and protecting

our families. That being said, we recognize that there is, and likely will always be, the controversy

surrounding vaccinations. We are open to hearing your concerns and conversing to convey our beliefs and explain the benefits of vaccines. We are open to having a dialogue and to providing

education.

In some cases, we may alter the schedule to accommodate parental concerns or reservations. 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 Linthicum Pediatrics. 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.

While making ourselves open to discussions and education, we are NOT able to have patients in the

practice that refuse all vaccines, or refuse to follow a reasonable schedule, as we believe this is unfair to

the rest of our patients and families that we serve. If despite all of our efforts and education you are

unable to reasonably vaccinate your child, we will ask that you find another healthcare provider who

shares your views.

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.

We have your children’s very best health in mind- and we appreciate the opportunity to have this discussion

so make sure we do our very best to care for them in every way.
