CMP Statement on Childhood Vaccinations

At Columbia Medical Practice, we proudly stand with the American Academy of Pediatrics in supporting routine childhood vaccinations. We believe that all children should be vaccinated according to recommended guidelines to help protect their health and the health of our community.

Vaccines are a safe and effective way to prevent serious illnesses, reduce the spread of disease, and keep schools and families healthy. Staying up to date on immunizations is one of the most important steps you can take to safeguard your child’s well-being.

Practice Policy:
To ensure the safety of all patients, Columbia Medical Practice requires that pediatric patients follow the recommended vaccination schedule by 4 months of age, unless a medical contraindication is documented by a provider. Failure to comply with this policy may result in discharge from the practice.

If you have any questions about vaccines or your child’s immunization schedule, our providers are here to help guide you.
