Record number of kindergartners had vaccine exemptions last year: CDC
For health authorities, the ideal vaccine coverage for MMR immunizations is 95 percent. The MMR vaccination rate among children in the U.S. has been falling since 2019. A spate of measles outbreaks earlier this year renewed concerns the U.S. could lose its status as a country where measles is considered eliminated.

@nursefrombirth Stop exemptions for 'religious' reasons and track docs that give a lot of 'medical' exemptions without any testing proof.
I'm in favor of no exemptions other than for documented medical reasons.
