D.C.-area parents seek "vaccine friendly" doctors as practices crack down

Some DMV parents are seeking "vaccine-friendly" pediatricians after being asked to leave former practices over how — or whether — they vaccinate their children. The big picture: Almost 3.5% of D.C.'s kindergarteners had immunization exemptions last fall — up from 2.7% in the 2024-2025 school year, per data from the CDC . That's higher than Virginia (3%) and Maryland (2.5%), though below the national average of 4.2%. This comes as the greater D.C. region has recorded several measles cases this year amid the nation's largest measles outbreak in 35 years. Driving the news: Several local practices have publicly reaffirmed their longstanding childhood vaccination policies after President Trump's executive order recommending fewer routine childhood vaccines and more separate visits for shots. That includes Pediatric Associates of Alexandria , which recently announced it will continue to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) schedule. Several regional clinics also state they won't work with patients who don't plan to vaccinate their kids. What they're saying: These policies are leading some local families to seek alternate care, says a Northern Virginia nurse practitioner at a "vaccine-friendly" practice, a term used online by some vaccine skeptics for spots that will see children no matter their
