Vaccine Policy
Bala Kids Dentistry is committed to providing a safe environment for our patients. We see many young children and those who are immunocompromised. Due to the danger of exposure to transmissible diseases from non-immunized persons, we have a policy in place requiring that all patients be up to date on all immunizations.
Effective January 1, 2021, we will no longer accept patients who have not received all immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Our main goal in following these guidelines is to ensure that all of our patients are being treated in the healthiest pediatric dental environment possible. We appreciate your trust and confidence in our practice.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at 610-336-8478.
