Immunization Webinar to discuss risk of School Age Outbreak

Do you remember 2017, when Minnesota had 75 children with Measles? Measles, 2017 - MN Dept. of Health (state.mn.us)

Like many states, Minnesota has recently seen an increase in non-medical vaccinations.  According to Axios (Tracking kindergarten vaccine exemptions in Minnesota - Axios Twin Cities) the cohort’s 89% vaccination rate for measles, mumps and rubella is among the lowest in the nation.

Join MPHA's Policy & Advocacy Committee in this informative webinar.

Will we Minnesota Nice ourselves into the next outbreak because we are afraid of taking on non-medical exemptions? Absolutely not. Join this meeting to learn how and why we need to address vaccine refusal in schools.
