ACP follows the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the State of Alaska. Your provider will help you consider options based on scientific evidence. Evidence-based medicine is the process of systematically reviewing, appraising and using clinical research findings to aid the delivery of optimum clinical care to patients. It is the policy of ACP to document the health care provider’s discussion with parents about the serious risks of what could happen to an unimmunized or underimmunized child. ACP will provide parents with the appropriate Vaccine Information Sheet(s) (VIS) at each immunization visit and answer their questions. For parents who refuse one or more recommended immunizations, ACP will document the conversation and the provision of the VIS. ACP will revisit the immunization discussion at each subsequent visit and will document the discussion, including the benefits to each immunization and the risk of not being age-appropriately immunized. Our priority is always the health and well being of your child and family!
