Some Pediatricians Refuse to See Kids with No Measles Vaccine

Posted

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Some doctors are refusing to see children whose parents won't get them vaccinated against the measles.

At least 98 cases of the measles have been reported in an outbreak linked to Disneyland in Southern California.

Many of those infected were not vaccinated.

Los Angeles pediatrician Dr. Charles Goodman says, "Parents who choose not to give measles shots, they're not just putting their kids at risk, but they're also putting other kids at risk - especially kids in my waiting room."
