Push for States to eliminate non-medical exemptions to childhood vaccines, to protect the health of our children

Created by C.R. on February 11, 2015

Vaccines have been shown in many studies to be safe and effective. With the increase in non-vaccination rates around the country due to personal belief exemptions, herd-immunity protection is compromised, putting those most vulnerable at risk, mainly infants and immunosuppressed people. The latest measles outbreak is a good example. Many people have fallen sick due to a preventable illness that was declared eliminated from the US in 2000. Let's not wait until more outbreaks of measles, or other diseases such as polio come back.
