    Minnesota public health advocates will hold a press conference urging parents to vaccinate their children before the start of the school year, as vaccination rates have declined and a measles outbreak occurred. They will note that less than 60% of Minnesota children ages 24-35 months have received all recommended vaccines, leaving unvaccinated children at risk of potentially fatal but preventable diseases. The advocates will call on parents at the August 2nd event in St. Paul to help reverse the trend.

    MEDIA ADVISORY

    Minnesota Public Health Advocates Urge Parents to Get Children Vaccinated Before School Starts
    What:
    The percentage of Minnesota children up-to-date on vaccinations is declining. Less than 60 percent of Minnesota children ages 24-35 months have had all the recommended vaccines. Unvaccinated children are susceptible to potentially fatal but preventable diseases, and can also put the health of others at risk. This spring, Minnesota experienced a measles outbreak, which affected 20 people who had not been vaccinated or were too young to be vaccinated. The outbreak originated from an unvaccinated child. Advocates from the Minnesota Head Start Association, Childrens Physician Network, and Minnesota Medical Association will call on Minnesota parents to help reverse the trend by getting their children vaccinated before the start of the 2011-2012 school year.
