Prohibit Pediatricians from not accepting patients that do not follow the childhood vaccine schedule and denying care due to vaccination status. I live in New Hampshire and we had an extremely hard time finding a Pediatrician that would accept us following an alternative vaccination plan for our children. When looking we just wanted to find a Pediatrician that would less us alternate the shots so our child wasn’t receiving multiple doses at once. At that time we were still planning on vaccinating our children.
Most offices turned us away at the front door stating if we did not believe in vaccines than we should go find another pediatrician but good luck because they all follow the recommendations of the American Pediatric Association. We were lucky to find one of only a handful in our entire state and we got in early during Covid. They have not been able to accept any new patients in years and are booked solid with a huge increase in parents questioning the vaccine schedule. This is criminal and it should be medical malpractice to turn a child away due to their vaccination status or any other medical decision.
