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.
All babies in a pediatric office are vulnerable to diseases carried by unvaccinated children.

I assume that these other patients are vaccinated. Don’t you trust their immunity? Are you aware that recently vaccinated children can be carriers of the disease they were vaccinated against.
