Investigators found evidence Dr. Van Koinis did not vaccinate children at parents' requests, the Cook County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Authorities are investigating the medical records of a Chicago-area pediatrician who died by suicide after finding a note that raised questions over his vaccination practices, sheriff's deputies said.
"He was well known for being someone who was into homeopathic medicine, and from what we have determined, it was well known that people opposed to vaccination could go to him," Sheriff Tom Dart told the Chicago Tribune. Koinis had been licensed to practice medicine in Illinois since 1991, the sheriff's office said. He primarily served patients from Chicago's southwest side and nearby suburbs."Out of an abundance of caution, Dr. Koinis’ former patients are encouraged to discuss this information with their current physicians and inquire about methods to test for prior vaccinations," the Cook County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Illinois law requires that all students be vaccinated and have records of those vaccinations, except for those exempt due to medical conditions and religious objections, according to the Tribune.
