What the proactive parent needs to know about vaccine preventable
    childhood diseases (Learn More...)

    Low Risk Vaccine Protocol:

    Clinic for Special Children provides state mandated vaccines to children using
    lower risk techniques to reduce the possibility of adverse vaccine reaction. This
    protocol has been developed by Stephanie Cave, MD, in response to parental and
    scientific concerns for the ever increasing number of mandated vaccines
    coincident with increases in autism, asthma, juvenile diabetes, sudden infant death
    syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, ADHD and learning disabilities. While there are no
    proven associations between the current vaccines and these devastating
    disorders, solid theories for their association abound.

    For peace of mind, and improved proactive health care, we offer vaccines with no
    preservatives, at increased intervals, on a delayed schedule, in single valent form
    (when possible), with administration of potent antioxidants to reduce physiologic
    stress and assist with hepatic immaturity.

    The adjusted vaccine schedule:

    Hepatitis B delayed to prior to school or day care entry

    HIB 4 months
    IPV 4.5 months
    DTaP 5 months
    Alternate these 3 vaccines every 2 months

    Varicella delayed prior to school entry

    Measles 15 months (not delayed)
    Rubella delayed to 27 months
    Mumps delayed to 39 months

    MMR boosters only if titers negative – check titers at pre-K entry and again at 12
    years of age.

    Check allergies to yeast, eggs and neomycin.

    Pre-treat all ages before all vaccines with:
           Cold pack / pressure to the site before and pressure after the injection
           Fruit juice before the DTaP to maintain glucose levels
