Spotlight Health: Official asks parents to vaccinate their kids

poz.com

Vaccines have gotten a lot more attention in the last few months. Officials, parents, and others are grappling with a measles outbreak that started in Disneyland, in late December. Doctor Anthony Fauci is Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. That’s at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci spoke with Aspen Public Radio’s Elise Thatcher. He says there could be more measles outbreaks, because there are so many unvaccinated people in the United States.

  Editor's note: you can hear more of this conversation later today at 3:30pm. That’s in our special series, Spotlight Health, in partnership with the Aspen Ideas Festival. We'll also post a web version of the program later today.
