Measles outbreak in New Mexico spreads to Texas
I recently read that my state, New Mexico, had more cases of measles diagnosed in 2024 than the entire US reported in 2023.
I understand that some are afraid of vaccinations. I was born in a time when vaccinations were not yet available for some diseases. As a toddler, I had a close brush with death from polio. My brother was deaf in one ear due to mumps, so I have a different perspective.
If you are a parent who fears vaccination, I implore you to discuss the issue with a pediatrician. Reconsider.
