Immunizations and well visits

Published

I have one patient who parents refuse to immunize, I'm fine with that as all the proper documentation on vaccine refusal is cocomplete, my issue is they only bring the child in for acute appt's .they have never kept a appt for a well child, they walk in at the end of the day, and insist the child be seen. Last time the child was brought in they were concerned about pertussis, it wasn't, today at the end of a horrible day, the child was brought in for concerns of measles, turned out to be fifth disease from classical presentation. I have tried to get the child in for a well visit with no luck . Any suggestions to get a kid in who is 3 for a well child visit ? I have reminded the parent repeatedly to bring the child in. Thanks

They are afraid of vaccinations....and there is a lot of study to prove they are right.........

Which studies do this ?

I realize it is beside the point, but we vaccinate sick kids all the time. Immunization deferred is immunization denied!

I realize this is a old thread had a one year old today who needed immunizations , who was also being treated for a cellulitis . i ordered them then the physician cancelled them said the reason being she was worried about a secondary infection. Scratching my head
