California’s Vaccination Rate Slips as Medical Exemptions Rise
from Science, Spoken · host WIRED
In the last few years California has gained ground in its fight to protect children from infectious diseases. But new data released this week shows that the state’s vaccination rate declined for the second year in a row. Last fall 94.8 percent of California kindergartners had received all their shots, down from 95.6 in 2016-2017. That drop may look small, but California has about as many kindergartners as Wyoming has people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
