Should a doctor be allowed to refuse children if parents don’t vaccinate?

AR

So another post got me thinking..

Should a pediatrician be able to refuse to take a new patient based on the parent’s decision to vaccinate or not??

This is not a debate about vaccinating, but about whether the doctor should legally be able to refuse patients that will not be vaccinated?

Personally I don’t think they should. Not that I agree with not vaccinating. I vaccinated, I’m neutral on the matter. But I don’t think a doctor should be able to do this, is all pediatricians decided to, where would children who don’t get vaccinated for religious beliefs or health-related problems go for primary care?

Apparently more doctors are taking up this mentality and I wanted to know what everyone thinks?
