Doctors nationwide are encountering more children with whooping cough, bacterial infections, and other serious vaccine-preventable illnesses.
There were more than 28,000 cases of whooping cough reported last year, compared with around 7,000 in 2023.

I study measles. I’ve seen the devastating toll it takes on children’s immune systems
It drives immunological amnesia and erases parts of protective immune memory and sets kids up for secondary infections months and years later
Its not benign

A moving piece today on the potential return of polio. How can we as a Nation who says we care for children let this scourge return? #VaccinesSaveLives
Feb 22
After decades of American children routinely receiving polio vaccines, the virus that had doomed many to paralysis was nearly eliminated in the United States. But vaccine avoidance today may allow the crippling disease to return.
CBS News chief medical correspondent @DrLaPook talks with @DavidOshinsky, author of "Polio: An American Story," and with violin virtuoso @PerlmanOfficial, who contracted polio as a child, about how parents opting out of vaccinations for their children could affect polio rates. cbsn.ws/4rw06Qo

"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’"
