My guess this is being done on the advice of lawyers.
You know some doctor somewhere is getting sued for not vaccinating a child, even though it was the parents that refused the vaccination.
This sounds like a marketing opportunity for a medical practice that doesn’t support vaccination. Surely there is at least one doctor, osteopathic practitioner, chiropractor, or something that would be interested in picking up these customers.

Vaccine Safety Conference Session 16 Dr. Christopher Exley
And, like with global warming, there are inconvenient facts out there showing that the consensus is wrong. That's not to say the anti-vaccine folks are proved true, just that the science is definitely not settled yet.
These aren’t your kids, they belong to the State!
Now shut up and get back in line. We will give them the meds the State requires, they will learn what the State requires, and they will vote the way the State tells them.
No more of this by the people, for the people BS.....
sorry no /s tag, this is where we are heading.
There is a valid reason for these doctors to refuse to treat these individuals. Prevention of communicable disease often relies upon vaccinations to promote “herd immunity.” This protects individuals who are most susceptible to infectious diseases. (The elderly, the very young and those w/suppressed immune systems such as AIDS patients or those on immunosuppressive drugs; i.e.: transplant patients.)
By allowing children, whose parents refuse to have them vaccinated, access to his/her office, a physician would violate medical ethics and risk possible legal jeopardy for allowing other patients to be exposed to an unnecessary risk.
Why don’t they just make them sign something that says they WERE advised???? And, that they will NOT make any legal claim based on non-vaccinations?
Science has become so politicized nowadays, and scientists so mendacious, that it’s hard to take anything uncritically. For me, vaccination is always a cost/benefit thing. I don’t take them just because they’re available, nor do I take them under the assurance that they’re neither harmless, nor will prove in the long run to be harmless.
I’m not sure I blame them, I don’t want my kids hanging around in the doctors lobby with some kid with TB or the Measles coughing up a storm because he’s got stupid parents. Also, many children, infants, are too young to get those shots and could easily die from the measles.
I agree with the doctors on this one.
Ironic, I just fired my doctor for this type of bs.
why not just make dead virus vaccines without the preservatives and eliminate the complaints?
Even if it has to be special orded it seems a reasonable solution.
Fire them?
Wait just a minute! When one goes to a doctor you hire him/her!!! That doctor did not “fire” you he/she said “I quit”.
I personally would not give that employee a good reference in the future. After all if I tell my employee that I don’t want that shot then I don’t want that shot.
My doc is not pleased with me for not accepting a statin drug for cholesterol. He even pleaded with me and said he would “make” his own wife take it if he had to. I told him point blank: Okay, fire me. He didn’t, but probably doesn’t care too much now that I don’t have health insurance.
Gosh, doctors making choices of conscience. Perhaps there is a hope for a free market after all. At least until some jerk decides they have to dispense abortions at the patient’s request.
Does anyone else see the importance of this freedom to treat?
Of course, we only believe in choice when it comes to abortion.
I think that responsibility starts with "first, do no harm."
You’re fired!
NO MEDICAL SERVICES FOR YOU!!!
so what kind of relationship is there between the doc and a patient that basically said nope. You have to fire them.
