vaccinate

There are now a growing number of doctors including Andrew Lieber, a paediatrician with Rose Paediatrics in Denver, who are taking the hard line of refusing to see children who's parents refuse to vaccinate them. One of the reasons for this hard line stance is the protection against disease for the little patent. Then there is the concern for the other little patents and parents in the waiting room. A parent who refused to vaccinate had a child sporting a full blown case of chicken pox. That endangered several newborn babies too young to vaccinate in the waiting room. This stance is not without controversy. There is an anti-vaccination movement in several countries that claim that vaccination can cause autism in a small number of children. It is also known that vaccination can cause serious reaction in a small number of cases as well. No medication is entirely safe, yet it is well known that the vaccination is safer than the disease. That is however small comfort for those afflicted by reactions to vaccine complications.
