What's New?
There is a measles outbreak in my home state of Texas. Actually, it started in Texas, but has spread to about 9 other states now. Measles was a disappearing disease in the US until this outbreak. Why has this happened? Because a number of people stopped vaccinating their kids. This virus, like so many viruses can do, found a chink in our armor and climbed right in to make itself at home. Why have people stopped vaccinating their children? Find out in this month's latest Hot Topic, "Measle's a Growing Concern in Texas" by Dr. Silvia Sarazin.
Should you vaccinate your children? Absolutely! This is a real disease and it can be deadly.
