When speaking with vaccine-hesitant patients, pediatricians turn to these tips

CNN  

CNN — In the early 2000s, when Dr. Alexandra Cvijanovich was completing her medical training in Utah, her team cared for a 13-year-old boy with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a degenerative neurological disease that can be fatal. “I tried to use stories of patients that I’ve taken care of,” she said, “and then I also tried to plead with people that they actually think about the greater good of the community around them.” Many pediatricians say they are seeing an increase in parents who are hesitant to vaccinate their children with the MMR vaccine and others. “Being a pediatrician, watching my patients grow up, that’s the best part of my job,” Cvijanovich said. Don’t: Dismiss worries Officials say the current measles outbreak, which started in West Texas, is rooted in a Mennonite community whose members may not seek traditional health care. Doctors need to be “understanding that there is a vast amount of information available to parents these days, and it is a constant challenge to figure out what’s accurate and what’s inaccurate, what’s misleading.” Still, some false claims have spread so broadly that Cvijanovich says some of her patients are not so much “vaccine-hesitant” as “anti-vaccine.” She described a family that expressed that they think the measles cases in New Mexico are a “conspiracy to try to get their kids vaccinated.” “So arguments, they do tend to fall on deaf ears, unfortunately, but I continue to have the discussions,” she said.
