- Meet parents where they are: Empathetic, non-judgmental conversations rebuild trust far better than mandates or dismissal.
- Prioritize better science: We need more long-term, independent studies on vaccine safety, cumulative effects, and vaccinated vs. unvaccinated outcomes.
- Focus on healthy kids, not just vaccination rates: Physicians should advocate for safety, innovation, and individualized risk-benefit discussions rather than rigid schedules.
