New patient Checklist
Are we on the same page with what you choose as a parent and what we recommend as a pediatric practice? Our goal is to partner with you and make sure our philosophies align to provide excellent care and shared decision making. Please read the following check as you consider Sun Country Pediatrics to be the medical provider of your child - from birth thru young adulthood.
Vaccines
We firmly believe all children and young adults should receive all the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We firm believe vaccinating children and young adults may be the single most important health promoting intervention we perform as healthcare providers, and you can perform as parents/caregivers. The recommended vaccines and their schedule given are the results of years and years of scientific study and data gathering on millions of children by thousands of our brightest scientist and physicians.
Finally, if you should absolutely refuse to vaccinate your child despite all our efforts, we will ask you to find another health care provider who shares your views. We do not keep a list of such providers, nor would we recommend an such physician. Please recognize by not vaccinating you are putting your child at unnecessary risk for life threating illness and disability, and even death.
As medical professionals, we feel very strongly that vaccinating children on schedule with currently available vaccines is absolutely the right thing to do for all children and young adults. Thank you for your time in reading this policy, and please feel free to discuss any questions or concerns you any have about vaccines with any one of us.
