What is a vaccine-friendly doctor?
Key characteristics of a vaccine-friendly doctor include:
1. Respect for Parental Choice:
- The doctor listens to and respects parents' concerns about vaccines.
- They do not pressure parents into vaccinating but instead provide information to help them make their own decisions.
- They are willing to work with parents who want to delay, skip, or selectively vaccinate their children.
2. Informed Consent:
- The doctor believes in fully informing parents about the benefits and risks of vaccines, including potential side effects and alternative schedules.
- They aim to present balanced information rather than using fear or coercion.
3. Flexibility with Vaccine Schedules:
- A vaccine-friendly doctor is open to alternative or delayed vaccine schedules.
- They allow parents to decide the timing and number of vaccines administered at each visit.
4. Focus on Individualized Care:
- These doctors prioritize the health and well-being of the individual child over rigid adherence to official vaccination schedules.
- They consider the child’s health history, risk factors, and family preferences when discussing vaccines.
5. Non-Punitive Approach:
- A vaccine-friendly doctor does not dismiss families from their practice for declining or delaying vaccines.
- They maintain a supportive and collaborative relationship with families regardless of their vaccination decisions.
6. Education and Support:
- These doctors provide educational resources, such as How To Recognize Vaccine Reactions or other materials, to help parents understand vaccine risk.

This approach emphasizes partnership and trust between doctors and families, aligning with the broader philosophy of medical freedom and personalized healthcare.
