Ask Your Doctor: Are You Being Bribed to Recommend Vaccines?

Story at-a-glance

  • Many doctors are pushing vaccines on their patients for what amounts to a bribe from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to increase the practice’s vaccination rates. The CDC’s AFIX program encourages “friendly competition” among staff to see who can increase vaccination rates the most, and prizes include such things as “scholarships” to training and professional meetings, plaques and public recognition, and opportunities to partner with pharmaceutical companies for additional funding sources.
