P.S. Gotcha!

P.P.S. You imply correctly -- it's the PATIENT'S decision to allow/submit to vaccination. Not the doctor's. I guess what you mean to say is, would you OFFER to vaccinate this patient. You're probably in much the same ballpark as offering amnio or other prenatal testing to patients who do not believe in elective abortion for any reason.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
