Parents failure to immunize their children could lead to conflict with pediatricians.
On one hand, doctors are there to treat everyone, and turning patients away leaves them still unvaccinated and without care. But an unvaccinated child who is carrying a virus is “literally a walking Typhoid Mary” who puts other children in a waiting room at risk.
Unvaccinated children who carry a disease infect those infants and smaller children who are too young to be inoculated and are therefore vulnerable to illness.
