Dismissing Vaccine Refusers From Practice
A Colorado
study reported in Family Practice News revealed that 21% of Pediatricians and
only 4% of Family doctors regularly dismissed children of families that refused
to vaccinate. This conflicts with
ethical guidelines that have been widely published. Those guidelines state that the physician’s
role should be to discuss the pros and cons of alternative therapies with their
patients. It is then the patient’s or
parents’ role to decide on which approach to take.
