Parents' trust in doctors protects kids – why vaccine rates are falling
Many parents are worried about vaccines. Yet, they trust their doctors the most. This trust is vital for protecting children's health.
It's deeply concerning. Even small drops in vaccination rates for US children can cause disease outbreaks. This shows how important high vaccination numbers are for everyone.
In Nevada, child vaccine rates are going down. This raises worries about herd immunity. Herd immunity protects communities when enough people are vaccinated.
Experts warn that vaccine disinformation spreads easily. This makes it harder for parents to make informed decisions about their children's health.
The falling rates mean more children are at risk. This could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases. Future health campaigns will need to focus on rebuilding trust and combating misinformation.
