2 10/90 Divide* Less than 10% f medical research funds are spent n the diseases that accunt fr 90% f the glbal burden f disease. Selgelid charges that biethics apparently suffers frm a misdistributin f research resurces analgus t the 10/90 divide. Althugh infectius diseases shuld be recgnized as a tpic f primary imprtance fr biethics, it has received little attentin. Three themes: 1) Significant impact f infectius diseases n health histrically (Black Death and small px) and currently (SARS and AIDS) is unrivalled in medicine. 2) Public Health versus Individual Autnmy 3) Justice: Burden is mst heavily shuldered by the pr (in develping cuntries). * MJ Selgelid, Ethics and Infectius Disease Biethics; 2005: 19(3):
3 Universal Vaccinatins and Exemptins State has the authrity t require universal immunizatin fr infectius cnditins (parens patriae), but it is less clear hw aggressively the state shuld use its pwer when the likelihd f infectin is quite lw. Three types f exemptins Medical exemptin: if vaccinatin wuld place the individual at risk (e.g.,immuncmprmised hst) Religius exemptins Philsphical exemptins
4 Whether Failure t Vaccinate is Medical Neglect Failure t immunize children against certain diseases when a safe and effective vaccine exists is medically neglectful. What is meant by safe and effective is nt clear-cut. cut. Medical neglect des nt always merit legal interventin What is the threshld fr legal interventin is nt clear-cut. cut. Treatment is f prven efficacy; has a high prbability f success; and denial f treatment will mst likely result in imminent death r serius mrbidity. Gldstein, Freud and Slnit use the criteria least detrimental alternative t justify state interventin Whether the neglect is due t religius beliefs (r ther sincerely held beliefs) shuld nt matter althugh bth deserve greater respect than neglect due t laziness.
5 Balancing Public Health and Individual Freedm First, state has an bligatin t ensure that all nnexempt children are fully immunized accrding t public health recmmendatins. Requires imprved access t such services. State interventin is justifiable in times f epidemics when nn-immunizatin pses risks t many.
6 Requiring Childhd Vaccines: Case Studies
7 Case 1: Immunizatin Refusals Mr. T brings in his sn Tmmy fr a pre- schl physical exam. Tmmy is 5 years ld and will enter public schl in September. Tmmy recently mved frm Ohi and has nt received any immunizatins. His parents base their refusal n religius grunds. FACTS: Mst states respect religius refusals fr immunizatins unless there is an imminent public health threat. What d yu d next?
8 Flanagan-Klygis, Sharp and Frader, Dismissing the Family wh Refuses Vaccines. Arch Ped Adl Med 2005; 159: pediatricians frm the American Academy f Pediatrics 452 returned surveys (45%) 256 f 302 (85%) pediatricians reprted encuntering partial vaccine refusal during the preceding 12 mnths. 162 f 302 (54%) reprted encuntering a parent wh refused all vaccines. Reasns fr refusals: Safety cncerns T many at ne time Philsphical r religius bjectins
9 Physician Respnse Fr parents refusing specific vaccines, 82 (28%) wuld ask the family t seek care elsewhere. Fr parents refusing all vaccines, 116 (39%) wuld refer the family Reasns: Lack f shared gals Lack f trust Fear f litigatin Sme said the type f vaccine refusal was extremely imprtant. DTAP, HIB, MMR and IPV were mre imprtant than Pneumcccal, Hep B and Varicella-zster vaccine.
10 Diekema & the Cmmittee n Biethics, Respnding t Parental Refusals f Immunizatin f Children. Pediatrics 2005; 115: Cited ther data: 7 f 10 pediatricians reprted they had a parent refuse an immunizatin in the 12 mnths prir t the survey. Usually MMR (fear f autism) Als refused Varicella, then pneumcccal, Hep B 4% f pediatricians refused permissin fr an immunizatin fr their wn children yunger than 11 years. Small percentage said they always (4.8%) r smetimes (18.1%) tell parents they will n lnger serve as the child s s physician.
11 AAP Cmmittee n Biethics First respnse f mst pediatricians Attempt t educate Dcument Cnsider 3 types f cases Cases in which refusal risks harming the child sufficiently that the decisin cnstitutes medical neglect and justifies DCFS invlvement. (Refusal f tetanus after sustaining a deep and cntaminated puncture wund.) Cases in which refusals puts ther children at risk f harm sufficient t justify public health interventin (Measles immunizatin requirements fr schl entry.) All ther cases (e.g., hepatitis B in newbrns)
12 AAP Respnse t Parental Refusals Listen carefully and respectfully t parents cncerns recgnizing that parents may nt use the same decisin criteria and may weigh evidence differently. Educate Risks f encephalpathy frm measles vaccine is 1 in 1 millin Risk f encephalpathy frm measles disease is 1000X greater. Negtiate (sme parents want t delay MMR until 3 years because f fear f autism) Cntinued refusal after adequate discussin shuld be respected unless the child is put at significant risk f harm (e.g., during an epidemic). In general, pediatricians shuld avid terminating the relatinship. This allws fr cntinued discussin Child still needs and deserves access t medical care fr ther health prblems.
13 Case 1: Reslutin I accepted Tmmy int my practice. I explained t the parents the limits f my willingness t respect treatment refusals. Public health threats If their decisins placed Tmmy at serius risk f imminent harm. I cntinue t engage parents in discussins abut immunizatins. Presently have begun the DTaP series because f plans fr camping vacatins.
14 Case 2: Immunizatin Refusals Mrs. V. brings in her daughter Vilet wh is 7 years ld. Vilet has been hme-schled and Mrs. V. has avided all immunizatins because she wanted her daughter t be part f the decisin making prcess. Vilet has agreed t at mst tw needles tday. Questins 1) Shuld yu wrk with this family? 2) Can yu wrk with this family? 3) What questins abut Vilet and the family d yu want t ask? 4) What immunizatin(s) d yu recmmend?
15 Case 2: Which Immunizatins? AGE: At age 7 years, HIB and PREVNAR are less necessary (risk highest in yunger children). Hepatitis B vaccine can surely wait until the child is a teenager. TRAVEL/freign expsure If the family lives in the US and des nt plan t travel utside f the US, and des nt have an internatinal nanny, ne can prbably wait n the IPV. Recent utbreak in an unimmunized cmmunity in Minnesta. If ne is nt planning t g n a camping trip r walk bareft in city parks, tetanus can be safely withheld. And if necessary, can be given up t 72 hurs pst injury. Health f Family members If a husehld member has severe COPD r asthma, thught shuld be given t influenza.
16 Case 2: Which Immunizatins? Which immunizatins wuld I chse fr a healthy 7 year ld child, given a histry f unremarkable risks and expsures? (in rder f imprtance) MMR DPT Want t cmplete a series. Secnd dse can be as sn as ne mnth; as lng as years (in cntrast with Hepatitis A that must be cmpleted in ne year, fr example).
17 Case 3: Immunizatin Delay Ms H brings in her twin children, Helen and Henry. They are bth 2 mnths ld. They were brn at a birthing center and received n immunizatins, but did receive vitamin K. When Ms H learns that yu want t administer DTaP, Hib/HepB, IPV, and Prevnar, she becmes quite distressed. She asks yu hw many vaccines will her children need by age 2 years? Answer: 20 +7; DTaP 4; HIB 4: Prevnar 4; IPV 3; MMR 1; Varicella 1; Hep B 3; and pssibly Hep A 2 and 2 dses f influenza (and we will be re-intrducing RV vaccine [3 dses]) If yu cunt DTaP as 3 different diseases, the answer is 11 disease (+3) If yu cunt the number f times each disease requires an immunizatin 30 (+7)
18 Case 3: Immunizatin Delay Ms H is willing t authrize the immunizatins fr her children, but asks if they can be delayed because f her fear that her children, particularly her sn, might develp autism. The media has described an assciatin f autism and thimersl; and autism and MMR. What are the risks and benefits f delay? Which nes wuld yu be mre willing t delay? Answer: If I culd nly immunize fr certain diseases in infants under ne year, I wuld pick in this rder DTaP (fr the diphtheria and pertussis); HIB; Prevnar
19 Case 4: Schl Entry Ms C is the principal f a private schl in yur area. She asks t have a meeting with yu. The Mntessri-type type schl admits children frm age 1 year ( mmmy( and me r mre crrectly caregiver and child ) ) and int the nursery prgram at 2 years. The principal wants t knw whether she shuld allw unimmunized children int the prgram.
20 Case 4: Schl Entry Can the schl require immunizatins fr schl entry? YES Must the schl respect religius r philsphical refusals? This depends upn state laws. If the schl des allw children wh are unimmunized, d ther parents have a right t knw? Des it matter if it is ne child wh is nt immunized r if it is 25% f the children? Issue f herd immunity Issue f greater likelihd f spread with larger pckets f unimmunized children.
21 Case 4: Schl Entry What recmmendatins wuld yu have fr Ms C if she decides t allw unimmunized children t attend her schl? A clearly written plicy wuld be ideal. Plicy shuld address: What will be dne if a child cmes dwn with any f these cnditins? T whm will cases be reprted? Will there is a maximal number (r percentage) f unimmunized children wh can attend? What rights d parents (bth refusers and nn- refusers) have t knw abut the plicies and abut the percentage f unimmunized children wh attend the schl? What happens if a child, r child s s sibling develps an underlying cnditin like cancer and the treatment leaves him immuncmprmised?? Will the schl defend the right t refuse r the right t cmmunity prtectin?
22 Case 5: Adlescent Vaccines CURRENTLY Tdap (r at least dt) [ne dse bster] Menactra (previusly fr children entering cllege, nw being recmmended fr children entering middle schl) [ne dse] Hep B (if nt previusly given) [series f 3; pssible need fr a bster in thse immunized in infancy] Varicella (if nt previusly given and n immunity) [series f 2] (Influenza in teens with chrnic health cnditins r wh live in husehlds with at risk members) [yearly] IN THE NEAR FUTURE HPV vaccine fr Sexually transmitted infectins (STI) [series f 3] Herpes vaccine
23 Case 5: Adlescent Refusal Ms M cmes in with her teenage sn Mark. Mark is a natinally-ranked squash player and is being recruited t attend barding schl n the East Cast. The schl requires that all entering students have received Menactra in the past 5 years and Tdap; and that they be tested twice fr TB. He needs 2 vaccines and the first f 2 TB tests. Ms M cnsents but Mark says n. What d yu d?
24 Case 5: Adlescent Refusal Why is Mark saying n? Fear f needles? Use EMLA cream Philsphical r religius belief? Mark states he is a vegetarian and believes in meditatin t achieve hlistic well-being. Hw strng are these cnvictins? Is he willing t freg Barding Schl? Are yu willing t call the schl and see if an exceptin can be made? D yu need Mark s s cnsent t administer these vaccines? D yu need his active assent? Or will yu administer if he says I d d rather nt but sticks ut his arm and des nt fight when the nurse cmes in with the needles? Hw is this different than hlding a fur year ld child dwn? Hw is it different if the vaccine were experimental?
25 Case 5: Reslutin Mark and his parents went hme with numerus references and website addresses. I specifically recmmended the AAP website and hand-uts. I specifically discussed the Waksman scandal in the Lancet. Mark and his parents called fr a nurse visit apprximately 3 weeks later. EMLA was rdered and applied prir t the appintment. Schl frm updated at that time.
26 Childhd Vaccinatins: Are there limits?
27 Childhd Vaccinatins: Are Mre Better? Are there Limits? Frm a public health perspective, mre seems better. Frm the perspective f the individual patient s medical well-being, mre seems better althugh sme individualizatin may be apprpriate. Frm the perspective f the prvider, unifrm plicies are needed (e.g., what ppulatin, what age, timing if the vaccine requires multiple dses). Prs and Cns f vaccinating infants rather than teens may be based n severity f illness (HiB mre likely in a yung child) r based n cnvenience (Hep B series).
28 Childhd Vaccinatins: Are there Limits? Limits based n abslute risk; risk: benefit t the child risk: benefit t the cmmunity Parents can refuse prvided it is nt seriusly neglectful f the child. Balance between respect fr parents t raise their children accrding t their wn values and the well-being f the child Parents can refuse prvided it des nt pse serius risk t the cmmunity. Balance between respect fr family autnmy and cmmunity well-being. Sincere cnvictins (whether religius r philsphical) shuld have greater weight than bjectins due t incnvenience
29 Future Cnsideratins regarding Childhd Vaccinatins: Are there Limits? If the state is ging t mandate these immunizatins, d they have an bligatin T ensure safety (vaccine databases)? Phase IV clinical trials Stricter reprting laws t VAERS T prvide the immunizatins free-f f-charge? T prvide cmpensatin if an adverse event ccurs (VAERS)? T cntinue t track ptential lng-term risks f bth individual vaccines and multiple vaccines.
