I want to come back to the vaccine issue. I think it would be really telling to just ask the provider, "how many of your patients decline vaccinations?" Again, just their reaction to the question would be telling. Do they look disgusted when they answer? Do they blame insurance compliance reasons?



Also, I would suggest asking what kind of illness would cause a reason for delaying shots at a visit?



Another question, "how often do you see chicken pox after that shot?" It seems to be the only one I regularly hear about shedding.



I am really sorry if I already suggested these exact questions in an earlier thread. Newborn brain.

Thanks for your thoughts.

We are personally pro vax, although we respect those who make different choices and support the rights of parents who choose not to vax

My husband is a pharmacist, which I made sure to mention to each ped Super helpful to be married to someone who literally gives vaccines as part of his job. I know vaxing is a big issue here on GCM, but it's not really something I asked peds about beyond delaying Hep B. They were all fine with delaying Hep B We feel good about the ped we chose- she was super pro breastfeeding and a great listener
