Re: Received pamplet in the mail - writing a letter to the doctor!

[Guest guest]

Good letter. I would change " accurate and correct " at the end to " complete,

accurate and unbiased " information.

You might want to add " Surely, the Aurora BayCare Medical Center does not want

to risk liability should a child receive vaccines based on your letter and

consequently suffer injury or death, vaccines that are not, in fact, legally

required. "

I was looking for the words " complete, accurate, and unbiased " but

couldn't think of them on my own. Thanks so much!

Those are perfect words to use!

I am just so SICK of getting vaccine info from local hospitals and

doctor's offices when they are not letting parents know they can opt

out of vaccines. Ugh it just makes me sick.

What issue are you fighting locally if you don't mind me asking?
