The annual wellness visit to which all Medicare beneficiaries are currently entitled with no out-of-pocket cost is an important opportunity for providers and patients to discuss the importance of immunizations—research shows a direct connection between a physician recommended immunization and a completed vaccination, and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee encourages efforts to increase provider engagement on this subject.

As of August 2016, all 50 states have legislation requiring vaccines for students — but almost every state allows exemptions for people with religious beliefs against immunizations, and 20033 states grant philosophical exemptions for those opposed to vaccines because of personal or moral beliefs (with the exception of Mississippi, California, and West Virginia, which have the strictest vaccine laws in the nation).

By November, more than 1,200 people had been infected in 31 states, the culmination of years of lax vaccine policy in the US. Though 50 states have legislation requiring vaccines for students entering school, 45 allow exemptions for people with religious beliefs against immunizations, and 15 grant philosophical exemptions for those opposed to vaccines because of personal or moral beliefs.

As of August 20093, all 50 states have legislation requiring vaccines for students — but almost every state allows exemptions for people with religious beliefs against immunizations, and 18 states grant philosophical exemptions for those opposed to vaccines because of personal or moral beliefs (with the exception of Mississippi, California, and West Virginia, which have the strictest vaccine laws in the nation).

And these hits have led to declines in immunizations, surges in malaria and polio, and play a role in a notorious plague epidemic; over half of the world's plague victims since 2010 have been in Madagascar (over nine-tenths in 2015 alone), with dozens dying annually despite the existence of cheap, effective antibiotics, and even an experimental vaccine, which many in outbreak zones just cannot access.

Vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, and polio are already mandatory in France, but the new policy will add eight more to that list: measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae bacteria, pneumococcus, and meningococcus C. Some of these vaccines are currently recommended, but not required; Philippe said all childhood immunizations that are unanimously recommended by health authorities will be mandatory starting next year.

A 2016 report from the National Vaccine Advisory Committee found that parents have qualms about the HPV vaccine that are perhaps not relevant to other immunizations: a fear that their kid would want to start having sex, a belief that their kid is too young to get the vaccine, worries about potential harmful side effects, and claims that their youngster isn't at risk for HPV.

Because general pediatrics tends to skew toward visits with younger children (there are a lot of checkups and immunizations in those first years of life), I am pretty regularly immersed in those issues of breast-feeding, infant sleep, toddler behavior, not to mention upper respiratory infections, diaper rashes and upset stomachs, which figured prominently in my personal life as well for all those years when my own children were young.
