ATLANTA: Doctors might drop shots

About one in 10 doctors who vaccinate children with private insurance are considering dropping the service largely because they are losing money, according to a survey.

A second survey revealed differences between what doctors pay for vaccines and what private health insurers reimburse. The surveys are in the December issue of the journal Pediatrics.

Cost concerns were behind an exodus of doctors from programs in the 1980s, which contributed to a resurgence of measles in 1989-91.
