Abstract

Introduction:

Recent increase in measles cases has sparked vaccination controversy.

Naturopathic physicians (NDs) have been recognized as primary care providers by VT since 2012.

It is not well understood how NDs address vaccination with patients.

Our goal was to determine how Vermont NDs address vaccines and preventative care with their patients.
