Very few doctors are against immunisation. The vast majority is strongly in favour and recommend immunisation to their patients.

There are a small number of doctors who have a critical view of vaccination. This does not imply that they have evidence on their side. A combination of personal experience and religious or philosophical beliefs may also be at play.

Remember: most doctors who have examined the evidence strongly support vaccination. Experts at the World Health Organisation (WHO), the European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control (ECDC), national health authorities and academia have vast experience in the field of immunisation.

They are doctors too, and their reputations depend on giving the best possible advice on vaccination. The same can be said of non-governmental organisations who strongly advocate the appropriate use of vaccines.
