A Texas church with a high proportion of unvaccinated children is the center of the latest outbreak of measles.
Though measles had been eliminated from the US in 2000, pockets of unvaccinated people have allowed several recent outbreaks to occur. Measles is among the most contagious of human diseases, and it can be very serious—it can lead to deafness, pneumonia, brain damage, and death in about 1 in 1000 cases. The vaccine is very safe and very effective.
Don’t let unfounded fears based on internet rumors and a single, fraudulent study scare you. Keep your children safe. Make sure they’re vaccinated completely, and on time.
