Vaccine Update

Since we posted on the subject of vaccines (see below) 9 cases of measles have been reported in Arizona. According to Dr. Karen Lewis, a medical director with the Arizona Department of Health Services, "Just one case of measles in the community is an outbreak."

All those reported having contracted the measles had never been vaccinated.

People are afraid, in some cases, to vaccinate their children. But remember, there are consequences to opting out.
