And 17% don't want unvaccinated kids in their pediatrician's waiting room.
Four in 10 parents said they are “very” or “somewhat likely” to bring their child to a different pediatrician if they learned that their primary care physician also treated families who refused to vaccinate their children, according to a new national poll from the University of Michigan. What’s more, three in 10 think their child’s primary care doctor should ask anti-vaxxer parents to find another health provider.
The danger: Unvaccinated kids are at risk of contracting these highly contagious and sometimes serious diseases — such as measles, which has seen U.S. cases spike to the highest level in 25 years. And these children in turn can expose infants who are still too young to get the vaccines, as well as pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
“When a family refuses all childhood vaccines, it puts providers in a challenging position,” wrote Clark. Her report concludes that, “primary care providers need to think carefully about whether to institute policies to prevent their patients from being exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases, and then communicate those policies to all patients in their practice.”But parents should also be proactive about asking their children’s doctors about their immunization policies.
