Dr. Brian Hooker: Yeah, they’re typically incentivized directly by HMOs. HMOs buy and sell vaccines. So vaccines are big business for HMOs. But the incentivization is anywhere from $200 to $600 per fully vaccinated patient as long as their vaccines, a certain percentage of their practice is fully vaccinated. So some pediatricians can make upwards to a million or more a year just in those incentives.”
