Immunizations

At Summerwood Pediatrics, we have a strict vaccination policy that requires all patient to receive their immunizations. We strongly support the vaccine guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP) with regards to the use and timely administration of disease preventing and life saving vaccinations. Although most vaccines are mandated and required by the New York State Department of Health, we support the recommendations of the AAP and the Centers for Disease Control with regards to the use of all suggested vaccines which is intended to improve the health and welfare of the children in our practice.

As a provider of children's health care, our office is aware of the controversies surrounding immunizations. We understand parent concerns and fears regarding vaccine reactions and side effects. Therefore, we can alter this immunization schedule, if requested. Please know though, current data shows no relationship between vaccines and Autism or any other developmental condition. If you would like an alternative vaccine schedule, please speak with you healthcare provider at the time of your visit.

Prior to the administration of each vaccine you should receive a Vaccine Information Sheet (VIS) and will be given the opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions.

Please note: Routine administration of Tylenol prior to vaccination is not recommended but can be used following vaccination for localized tenderness or irritability.

  • "I am incredibly impressed with how helpful and wonderful Grace Geno was on our recent visit! She was quickly able to get my shy 11yo, who always looks to mom for answers (we are working on her speaking for herself, and Ms. Geno picked up on this as well) comfortable to answer questions on her own. She explained what was going on with my daughter's hand to us both in a way which was easy to understand. She also gave my daughter the choice on how she wanted it to be treated. During the treatment, she explained everything she was doing and let my daughter know exactly what to expect."

The OT provider said they had never received a referral back from an office so quickly. I just wanted to say thank you, it’s greatly appreciated. We initially went to SWP for the Camillus location but are more than happy to travel to Liverpool as I feel he receives great care and attention. Thanks for all you do."
