    Achieving an Optimal Childhood Vaccine Policy
    (American Medical Association, 2017-09-01) Opel, Douglas J.; Schwartz, Jason L.; Omer, Saad B.; Silverman, Ross D.; Duchin, Jeff; Kodish, Eric; Diekema, Douglas S.; Marcuse, Edgar K.; Orenstein, Walt; Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health
    Policies to remove parents' ability to opt-out from school immunization requirements on the basis of religious or personal beliefs (ie, nonmedical exemptions) may be a useful strategy to increase immunization rates and prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease. However, there is uncertainty about the effectiveness of this strategy and the range of possible outcomes. We advocate for a more deliberative process through which a broad range of outcomes is scrutinized and the balance of values underlying the policy decision to eliminate nonmedical exemptions is clearly articulated. We identify 3 outcomes that require particular consideration before policies to eliminate nonmedical exemptions are implemented widely and outline a process for making the values underlying such policies more explicit.
