Measles is a highly contagious and vaccine-preventable disease that has been on the rise, both in the United States and globally. Missed routine immunizations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and growing mistrust in vaccines have contributed to a dangerous rise in cases. Current WUENIC numbers estimate that nearly 22 million children missed out on a first dose of measles-containing vaccine in 2022, and more than 3 million children missed their second dose.
Join IVAC and a panel of distinguished experts for a webinar on Tuesday, August 8, at 9:30am ET, where we will discuss the ongoing threat of measles, why vaccination is critical to prevent this extremely contagious disease, and the impact of vaccine hesitancy on declining immunization rates.
The webinar will be followed by a moderated Q&A session. Have questions for our experts? Submit them here!
