Our Stance on Vaccines
The medical providers at Columbia Pediatrics strongly support the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended schedule for vaccine administration:
​
We ask our patient's families to adhere to this vaccine schedule when deciding to vaccinate their child.
​
If a family desires an alternative schedule of vaccine administration, while working toward completion of the required vaccines needed for school entry, this should be discussed directly with the child's trusted medical provider. We do ask that children receive all the vaccines required for school entry per the Tennessee Department of Health by 6 years old.
​
If a family chooses not to allow their child to receive any of the recommended vaccines, we would ask that family to choose another medical provider to serve their family.
