← BackBring Your Own Vaccination Plan to the Well-Visit
New
The practice already has a vaccination plan for your child. Now you can walk in with your own.
At visits like the 2-month well-visit, several vaccines can be presented together and start to feel like one package: this is what we do today.
But it is not one decision.
You can accept one vaccine and decline another. You can delay something you're not ready for. You can decide that some things are right for your child today and others are not.
The new Vaccination Plan gives you a way to work through those decisions before you're sitting in the exam room reacting to the schedule.
Inside the Well-Visit Guide, mark each vaccine Accept, Delay, or Decline.
Anything you haven't decided yet remains Undecided.
Anything you haven't decided yet remains Undecided.
And now you can view your plan at any point while you're building it. Try a scenario. Look at the plan. Change a decision. Look again. You don't have to finish all of the decisions before the plan becomes useful.
Your plan shows your family’s position clearly: what you're comfortable with today, what you're not comfortable with, and what you may want to consider later. When you're accepting more than one vaccine, it can also show the combined ingredient picture you've considered for that visit.
That changes the starting point of the conversation.
Instead of walking in empty-handed and responding to the practice's plan, you can put yours on the table first.
Here's what we're doing today. Here's what we're not doing. Here's what we're still deciding.
The Vaccination Plan doesn't exist to make your decisions for you.
It exists so that you make them.
