Congratulations to Jonathan L. Temte, MD, PhD (Professor, CHS) on being featured in the January 30, 2025 New England Journal of Medicine “Clinical Decisions” interactive feature. Two experts are given a case vignette and assigned an option to argue. For this case, “Deciding Whether to Accept an Unvaccinated Child into a Pediatric Practice,” Temte’s essay argues for declining the patient unless she receives the MMR vaccine. Readers are invited to weigh the arguments of the experts as well as their own experiences, published guidelines, and literature on the topic to make their own decision.
