The finding, published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on Thursday, shows that rates of young children not receiving vaccinations against certain diseases, including measles, continued to climb in recent years. Rates of unvaccinated and exempted children on the rise, says CDCFor the 2018-2019 school year, the national percentage of kindergartners with an exemption from one or more required vaccines was 2.5%, which was a slight increase from 2.
How measles was eliminated and then came back 02:55"Although the overall percentage of children with an exemption increased slightly for the second consecutive school year, children with exemptions still represent a small proportion of kindergartners nationally and in most states," the researchers wrote."More importantly, in 25 states, the number of nonexempt undervaccinated kindergartners exceeded the number of those with exemptions.
How personal belief vaccine exemptions cause measles outbreaks 01:48The new report found that nationally, during the 2018-2019 school year, vaccination coverage among kindergartners for the two-dose MMR ranged from 87.4% in Colorado to at least 99.2% in Mississippi.The recommended coverage for MMR is at least 95%, according to the report.For the diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine or DTaP, coverage ranged from 88.8% in Idaho to at least 99.
Other research, published in the medical journal JAMA in 2016, has shown that states with philosophical exemptions had both higher rates of refusal and higher rates of disease"Clusters of refusal overlap clusters of outbreaks," Saad B. Omer, a professor of global health and epidemiology and pediatrics at Emory University who led that separate research, told CNN last year.
Even a small increase in unvaccinated kids reduces “herd immunity “ for children and adults who medically must avoid shits, such as those with cancer. It’s non-linear.
The only exemptions should be for medical reasons only. The vaccines are proven safe and ignorance should not be aloud to endanger those that can not be vaccinated for medical reasons.
Don’t have to be smart to procreate.
Stop sterilizing the kids. Trump2020!!!
You kids go ahead and make others sick now
The state and the state alone should decide what chemicals are injected into a child's body.
Hijama can remove dead and broken blood cells out of your body. The broken blood can cause Autoimmune disease. Your body will replace the dead broken blood with new healthy blood. Hijama also remove excessive blood that cause hypertension and broken vessels
Can we put all the anti-vaxxers and flat earthers and yeet them all into space?
Now that's bad news... VaccinesWork
There should be no exceptions. Let’s protect our children. No vaccine’s no school!
Many parents trust the internet more than the medical profession. Sad.
