I firmly believe that vaccines are safe and help prevent dangerous illnesses. I also believe that all children should be vaccinated at the appropriate times. Because vaccines work so well, people have little or no exposure to the diseases they prevent. By not vaccinating your child you are putting other children at risk.
I am happy to discuss any concerns you may have and I am willing to modify the vaccine schedule in a reasonable way to help minimize any anxiety. However, if you choose to not vaccinate your child, I will not be able to accept your child into the practice.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope you understand my position.
