DOCS GET BONUS FOR GIVING MMR VACCINE

What Next? It seems that in the U.K., GPs have been getting payments for rounding up their patients for the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. If 90 per cent are vaccinated, they receive 2,865 pounds, but the payola drops to 955 pounds if only 70 per cent are vaccinated.

It seems now that the docs are concerned that they may be wrecking their credibility with their patients. Sure, especially since the MMR has become so controversial.

Let’s get this straight: they’ve been receiving extra money for vaccine targeting? Isn’t that a CONFLICT OF INTEREST? Or are British docs too dumb to understand that?
