With increasing numbers of parents exempting their child from required school-entry vaccines and few evidence-based interventions to address vaccine hesitancy, pediatric providers are struggling with how to respond to parental vaccine refusal.
B. One strategy recently promoted is to treat vaccine refusal as neglect and report parents to child protective services (CPS) or another comparable agency in the US.

Parental refusal to vaccinate, when it prevents child from attending school, constitutes neglect. Several similar cases are reported and the courts all considered vaccine refusal to constitute neglect.

Essential regulation includes the licensure of health care providers at the state level and the testing and approval of pharmaceuticals and medical devices by the U.Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and laboratory testing.

C. At the federal level, US Department of Health and Human Services oversees the various federal agencies involved in health care. The health agencies are a part of the U.Public Health Service, and include the Food and Drug Administration, which certifies the safety of food, effectiveness of drugs and medical products, the Centers for Disease Prevention, which prevents disease, premature death, and disability, the Agency of Health Care Research and Quality, the Agency Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, which regulates hazardous spills of toxic substances, and the National Institutes of Health, which conducts medical research.
