Kansas City, MO: We are in the midst of what has become a national controversy: to vaccinate or not to vaccinate for the measles. Everyone, qualified or not, is weighing in – parents, professional organizations, physicians, TV personalities and even politicians. Scientifically, there is no controversy. Vaccines work! The measles vaccine is very safe, very effective and very necessary.
Join us at the Mid America Immunization Coalition’s Quarterly meeting March 5th and hear from experts in the field of vaccines.
