Can a physician refuse to accept patients whose parents are not willing to vax on the APA recommended schedule?

I can't speak on that, but I do believe if the pediatrician is not willing to at least work with the parents, the parents should find a new doctor who is willing to work with them. It goes both ways, IMO.

Again, I'm not advocating against vaccinations entirely, I just don't necessarily agree with absolutely having to vax on schedule. And I believe a parent should have the right to delay if they so choose. But, children should be up-to-date on vaxes by the time their child reaches school age.
