ABSTRACT… Objectives:To assess knowledge and attitude of young doctors serving in Tertiary care Hospitals regarding the IPV intervention and polio eradication campaign. Study Design: A cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: Five Tertiary Care Hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Period: Oct 2015-Nov 2015. Methods: Proportionate random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 100 doctors working in pediatrics wards and out patients departments (OPD). After taking informed consent the data was collected using a standardized Questionnaire to measure level of awareness among this cohort of Health care providers. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Baseline distinctiveness (demographic) was summarized by descriptive statistics. The statistical inference was drawn using Chi square test, p value of ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant. Results The study sample comprised of 47 males and 53 females. Mean age of participants was 29.8 ± 5.7. There were 15% House Officers, 45% Post Graduate Trainees, 30% Medical Officers and 10% consultants in the sample. Majority of doctors (65%) expressed disinterest and doubt about polio immunization while 40% suggested focus on sanitation and health promotion before immunization. Among the participants only 29% had attended polio surveillance training workshop in last 2 years and participated in polio National Immunization days. There was no significant association between knowledge about IPV and years of experience(x 2 =2.68, p= 0.433). Conclusion: This study suggests that there was inadequate knowledge of doctors in tertiary care hospitals regarding IPV and polio eradication efforts in Pakistan. Key words:Attitude, knowledge, Healthcare professional, Inactivated Polio Vaccine.

“…Parents who refuse vaccines tend to seek care from providers who have less faith in vaccine safety compared with health care providers of vaccinated children. 10 If the family seeks care from a physician more sympathetic to their position, there is a lower likelihood of an ongoing conversation regarding vaccine promotion to occur. Many parents who refuse vaccines for their young infants subsequently get their child vaccinated at older ages.…”

Many primary care pediatricians find vaccine hesitancy to be one of the most frustrating situations that they face. Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children implicitly call into question an intervention that most pediatricians see as one of the safest and most effective health care interventions of all time. Many pediatricians respond by refusing to care for children whose parents refuse vaccines, and some may consider that the parent’s refusal warrants referral to child protective services. We present a case in which a pediatrician faces this dilemma, with responses from pediatricians in academia and private practice.
