Judge it as you see it. It's a fact of life that a lot of rural areas are uninformed, and many of the people dismiss getting their children inoculations due to ridiculous religious beliefs.
I wonder how our society became so anti vax do they not understand how many lives have been saved since vaccines came about.Its so hard to believe they are that foolish.They should look at how many people were crippled suffered and died from polio smallpox measles rubella etc the ignorance is astounding
Question re: this part: “The MMR vaccine is given in two doses usually - once at 12-15 months old and again at 4-6 years old. Two doses confers roughly 97% protection against measles.”
What is the % protection before the second dose? I have 2 kids in that age gap.
When I was a child we learned and understood science we had qualified teachers I’m convinced we knew more by 8 th grade in the United States in the 80s than some of the people graduating college it’s mind boggling I went to my child’s classroom unexpectedly one day back in the late 90s didn’t see anyone reading or learning anything didn’t see an open book notebook pencil pen or anything just a bunch of kids running around doing stupid things I put my children in private school and to be honest it wasn’t really much better it makes me sad to see how our education system has failed us
When the polio vaccine came about they had to show people vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated to provide evidence it worked because people were afraid how have we moved backwards are our leaders and schools that ineffective teach these people critical thinking skills
Thanks, for this. We had a woman in our community in TX , since past, who had brain damage from contracting measles at 12 back before the vax was available. People who knew her in school said she had a brilliant mind and was grades far ahead of them. So,so sad and totally preventable now.

Thanks for sharing the adult vaccination guidelines. I really wish we (CDC) didn’t qualify some of these as vaccine-preventable diseases. Like we know Covid and flu aren’t. It gives this false sense that the vaccines don’t work because vaccinated people get the disease.
In the early 50’s, before vaccinations, we were deliberately sent next door where the kids had measles so we would catch it. It was miserable and we spent weeks completely caked in caladryl ointment.😖
Thank you for the updates. I’m not confident in getting the correct information from the back up again sites. Sorry😞
Thank you Dr Rubin! 😊
Thank you
I'm not surprised in the least that many children are not vaccinated in Texas. The ignorance of the population in the rural areas is a given.
Ignorance in rural areas… wow that is not judgmental at all 🙄

Just like Covid-19 we aren’t being informed (same person of that administration is todays administration. We can’t check CDC
Is still being updated … yeah right!!!
