Immunization Policy
In order to uphold our practice mission is, to provide excellent community based pediatric health care enhancing the overall health and well-being of children and their families--the physicians and staff at Berkeley Pediatric Medical Group, Inc., strongly believe in the importance of universal immunization.
Berkeley Pediatric Medical Group does not accept families who are unwilling to vaccinate their children. This is against our philosophy of high quality, preventive medicine. Feel free to discuss immunization questions with your physician. Please see the Berkeley Pediatrics Immunization Policy.
