Concerned about getting vaccines?
The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials issued press release expressing alarm that declining vaccination rates are putting Americans at risk for flu and other potentially deadly diseases.

From this article you posted I will just re-post this important quote identifying the need to present facts to worried parents when it comes to vaccinating their children.
“The health concerns that parents have over the risks of vaccination need to be addressed with compassion and with care, but also with facts so that informed decisions can be made, and so that people can protect themselves and their loved ones from dangerous, vaccine-preventable diseases”.
