Do patients have a right to know whether their physicians are vaccinated for COVID-19?

In general, a physician should not refuse a patient simply because the individual is not vaccinated or declines to be vaccinated.

Responsibly prescribing an approved medication for a novel, off label use requires that the physician reflect critically on the available evidence.

Access to unproven, experimental treatments by individuals who are unable or unwilling to participate in clinical trials of new interventions raise ethical concerns.

Physicians who provide services remotely must be proficient in whatever technologies they use.
