AA of Pediatrics guidelines - non-judgmental approach to parents

[Guest guest]

Dr. W. Sears, in " The Parent Paper " magazine ( " Childhood vaccines "

2/08) writes:

" The AAP has become increasingly sensitive to parents concerns when it

comes to vaccines, and it published new guidelines for pediatricians to

follow when parents question vaccines. These guidelines are in the 2006

Red Book of Infectious Diseases that every pediatrician views as " The

Bible " on disease information and policy. The book clearly states:

A non-judgmental approach is best. Listen carefully and respectfully

to the parent's concerns. Inform the parents of the risks and benefits of

each vaccine as well as the risks of each disease. For parents who are

concerned about multiple vaccine at one visit, develop a schedule that

spreads the vaccines out. Continued refusal to vaccinate after adequate

discussion should be respected (unless the child is at significant risk of

serious harm during an epidemic). In general, pediatricians should avoid

dismissing patients from their practice solely because of refusal to

vaccinate.

So, if any parent out there is getting flack from their pediatrician for

raises questions or objections to having their child vaccinate.....refer

the pediatrician to the 2006 Red Book of Infectious Diseases so they can

" educate " themselves as to the practices and policies recommended by the

Academy of American Pediatricians.
