May 31: “Immunization Crisis: Future Directions for Physicians and Policy Makers”

April 10, 2018 by DFC

From 2003 to 2016, Texas saw a 19-fold increase in the number of school-aged children with immunization exemptions.1 In 2016, Texas saw four mumps outbreaks, the largest caseload in 22 years.2 These events warrant discussion of the current state of immunization policy in Texas and possible future directions.
