Vaccinations

One of the most provocative issues that patients ask about at Vitality Health and Wellness is regarding safe vaccination. We are committed to offering safe vaccines, and we discuss vaccine options with each of our patients. While we readily present the standard vaccine schedule to each family, it is ultimately the family's decision as to how we proceed with this schedule. We always remind the families that there are no studies that prove that there are absolute dangers of vaccines, however there are no studies that have conclusively proven that these dangers do not exist. Foremost we believe in parents making informed decisions.

If a family chooses to vaccinate, we will discuss the desired schedule, respecting individual's rights to delay vaccines or split up doses (such as giving measles, mumps or rubella on separate visits). We do not recommend giving vaccines to children that are ill, or those who have recently been ill. We also discuss the safe use of natural substances such as vitamins and herbs for use both before and after vaccines. These products are intended to strengthen the immune system and prepare it for the vaccines that are to be given.
