Immunizations
CHOC Immunization Policy
As part of the CHOC Primary Care Network, our pediatric teams continue to provide evidence-based, individualized care and partner with families to answer questions and discuss what is right for each child. Learn about our immunization policy.
Sea View Pediatrics follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). For information about these vaccines and the diseases they protect against, please visit https://www.aap.org/.
We cherish our relationships with our patients and their families. It is truly what makes our job fulfilling.
Although we have always been supportive of the AAP immunization guidelines, in the past we have allowed some variation and modification of that schedule. Some families have also chosen not to vaccinate. We have come to recognize that both decisions place the health of your child and others at risk.
We understand that as a parent, you may have a lot of questions and fears regarding health decisions for your children including vaccinations. We are dedicated to discussing these issues with you. If after careful consideration, you choose not to vaccinate your child, we ask that you seek an alternative provider for your family. Sea View no longer provides care for children who are not vaccinated.
We affirm that it is in the best interest of your child and our community that you vaccinate and protect your child according to the recommended AAP immunization schedule. We will also be actively updating our current patients who have fallen behind on their scheduled immunizations.
In the event of particular circumstances where a modified schedule is essential, a Sea View modified schedule that still adequately protects your child with less risk will be adopted. You may discuss the details with your physician. Other modified schedules which significantly delay infant immunizations will no longer be accepted at Sea View.
