Do you think your doctor should see unvaccinated children?
"Pediatricians strive to keep children healthy through regular well-child care and this includes encouraging families to follow recommended vaccine schedules. When a family refuses all childhood vaccines, it puts providers in a challenging position," says Mott Poll co-director Sarah Clark, MPH.
Thirty-nine percent of parents surveyed said that their provider already has a policy saying children must get all recommended vaccines, with a further 8% saying their provider has a requirement that children get some vaccines. Another 15% say that their child's primary care provider has no vaccination policy and 38% percent say they aren't sure if there is a policy at all.
The poll also collected information about whether parents thought they should know if unvaccinated children were present in the waiting room, with 43% of parents who would want to know and 33% would not want to know. Clark suggests that these recent measles outbreaks highlight the need for both parents and health care providers to consider policies around unvaccinated children. The highly contagious measles virus can live for several hours in an area where an infected person coughed or sneezed. However, people can spread the disease even before symptoms appear.
