The doctors at Cornerstone Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine are strong advocates of timely vaccination of all children. Cornerstone Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine (CPO) policy requires all patients under the age of 2 to be vaccinated against vaccine-preventable diseases prior to the patient’s 2nd birthday.
CPO’s policy includes the following vaccines:
- Hepatitis
- Tetanus and Pertussis (DTaP)
- Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
- Polio
- Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
- Varicella
- Pneumococcal conjugate (PCV)
- Rotavirus
- Tdap (at 11 years old)
- Meningococcal (at 11 years old)
Patents who are over 2 years old, and not vaccinated as required by CPO policy, must be fully vaccinated within 7 months. This grace period allows plenty of time to bring immunizations up to date.
This policy also applies to any children who may have been grandfathered in under the previous Vaccination Policy.
Documentation of all vaccinations must be provided to Cornerstone Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. Failure to comply with this policy will result in the denial of healthcare services at Cornerstone Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, as well as possible exclusion from group settings, such as daycare or school, as required by North Carolina law.
Exemptions will only be granted for medical reasons, as determined and/or agreed to by a Cornerstone Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine physician. Religious and personal belief exemptions will not be granted.
