Measles cases continue to rise across the U.S., highlighting the importance of protecting children through routine immunizations. In Pennsylvania, local schools and health departments are working together to help students get caught up on recommended vaccines and return to the classroom, demonstrating how communities can work together to keep kids healthy.

As Andrew Racine, AAP President, said, "Our responsibility is to demonstrate what the science shows and put out a vaccine schedule that people can depend upon that is science-based and evidence-based." Families deserve clear, trustworthy information about vaccines and the diseases they help prevent.

The AAP recommends children receive two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. If you have questions about the MMR vaccine, talk with your pediatrician. Read the full article from The Guardian here: https://bit.ly/4iP4TLA
