A statement from our board on the appropriate response to a #measles outbreak: bigcitieshealth.org/measles-…
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."
