See what it looks like to bring #PublicHealth to where people are. @MeckCounty Public Health now has three mobile units that will transform access to health care for many residents, including dental care. youtu.be/5BD6mHg7PlI
Thanks @GMA!
As this outbreak evolves, it is so critical to reinforce the importance of having a strong, properly resourced public health system at all levels (local, state, and federal) with integrated, real-time data to drive swift action!

ALT Child getting MMR vaccine. Graphic includes excerpt from the statement: "The science could not be clearer: measles can be lethal, the MMR vaccine is highly effective, and people who are unvaccinated should stay home following exposure. Any response that ignores or deviates from these standards on the part of public health officials is a dereliction of duty."
