About time for vaccine reminders
Anna DALEY, by email
I REFER to your piece about doctors being allowed to send out reminders for vaccinations (Connexion, August).
Every year, our vet sends us a reminder card for our pets’ vaccinations – and I thought it would be brilliant if our doctor could do the same, as it is hard to remember whether everyone is up to date, especially with young children.
I asked our doctor why he did not send out reminders, and he replied that he was not allowed to by law, as it would be like touting for business (une démarche commerciale), and doctors were not allowed to do this.
How daft can you get? For this reason I am 100% behind the Institut de Veille Sanitaire on this issue.
