Patients who join our practice as unimmunized or under-immunized must agree to initiate a “catch-up” immunization plan according to the current ACIP recommended immunization catch-up schedule. This catch-up must be completed by the current hard- limits established by the practice, when applicable, or by one year – whichever is the shorter time-frame.

Since trust is a fundamental component of the physician/patient relationship, families who do not adhere to our required immunization standards will not be permitted to remain as patients with our practice. CCP will issue a formal notice of termination from our practice where, during the transition, we will see your child(ren) for acute conditions (sick visits). Within a 60-day time period from the date of the termination letter, you must transition your child(ren)’s care to another medical provider.
