As a pediatrician who receives my yearly flu vaccination, as a parent of three children who have been vaccinated according to the recommended schedule, and as a pediatric infectious disease consultant who has taken care of young children with meningitis that would have been preventable had their parents accepted immunization, this is a personal matter to me.
Enquanto pediatra que tomo a minha vacina anual contra a gripe, enquanto pai de três crianças que foram vacinadas  conforme as recomendações, e enquanto pediatra  consultor de doenças infecciosas que tem tratado de crianças com meningites que podiam ter sido evitadas se os pais aceitassem a imunização, isto, para mim, é um problema pessoal.
