Two Doctors on How They Handle Unvaccinated Kids The re-emergence of measles has created a dilemma for pediatricians: what to do about parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated. Is it best to treat the unvaccinated kids, potentially putting other patients who visit their offices at risk?

Two local doctors with different approaches explain their stances to Madeleine.
