  To determine pediatricians' attitudes about such parents, Dr. Erin Flanagan-Klygis of Rush Medical College in Chicago and colleagues surveyed
  
  302 physicians.
  
  "No one had really looked at this," Flanagan-Klygis told United Press International. "Our goal was to start a dialogue about the practice (of refusing care to families who opt out of vaccinations) and create an awareness of the practice."
  
  About 85 percent of the pediatricians responded that in the last 12 months they had encountered a family refusing at least one vaccine and 54 percent said they had encountered a parent who refused all vaccines, Flanagan-Klygis and colleagues report in the October issue of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
  ...
  The findings raise important questions about vaccinations and other medical issues, Flanagan-Klygis and colleagues wrote, such as whether refusing to provide care to families that opt out of vaccines might result in certain children or groups not receiving inoculations.
  ...
  Flanagan-Klygis said she also thought it would be more advantageous for pediatricians to continue to provide care for families.
  
  "As pediatricians, we're all committed to care of children and any way we can continue that care would be best," she said.

  The study's lead author, Dr. Erin A. Flanagan-Klygis, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Rush Medical College in Chicago, believes this reflects an issue of diminished trust between doctor and patient.In her report, she explains that disease prevention and immunization are considered an essential part of pediatric care, with more than 90 percent of pediatricians rating the older vaccines (DaPT, MMR and HIB) as extremely important.

  "Some parents now aggressively question pediatricians about vaccine safety," wrote the authors, led by Dr. Erin Flanagan-Klygis of Rush Medical College in Chicago."Pediatricians, in turn, may feel unwilling or unprepared to respond to such scrutiny."
  
  Flanagan-Klygis said she had accepted families that had been turned away from other doctors because they had refused vaccinations.Many doctors, she said, are understandably frustrated by the misinformation they believe is being spread by people opposed to vaccinations.But Flanagan-Klygis said she took the patients after telling the parents that she hoped she could change their minds.
