About 4 in 10 parents said they would likely switch providers if their children's physician practice treated unvaccinated patients, according to the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health.
Ipsos Public Affairs conducted the survey on behalf of the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based hospital, polling a nationally representative survey of parents in February 2019.
Four survey findings:
1. Thirty-nine percent of parents said their child's primary care office has a policy requiring all children to receive recommended vaccines.
2. Twenty-four percent of respondents said their physician office permits unvaccinated children to use the same waiting area as other patients.
3. Forty-three percent of parents said they would want to know if the physician practice treated unvaccinated children. Thirty-three percent would not want to know.
4. If the practice did treat unvaccinated children, 12 percent of parents said they'd be "very likely" to switch providers and 29 percent said they'd be "somewhat likely."
