Responding to Parental Refusals of Immunization of Children
report by the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Bioethics
Your pediatrician may ask you to sign this Refusal to Vaccinate form.
If the form does not load, go
here and search on " Refusal to Vaccinate."
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) website has a section
on immunization laws in the United States. One section of
interest is A
matter of law: Parents must be informed.
Quoting from this section: “By law, parents, guardians, or
patients must be given information in writing about the risks
and benefits of vaccination before a vaccine is administered.”
The section then references “Vaccines
and Immunizations” on the website of the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC). Of
particular interest is the section on “Vaccine
Safety and Adverse Events.” Forms are provided for
reporting a vaccine adverse event, either on-line or on a paper
form.
