Tackling Oklahoma’s Measles Outbreak Part 2

On this edition of Inside the 1581, we address the recent measles outbreak and the critical role vaccinations play in safeguarding our children and communities. Rich Rasmussen, President and CEO of the Oklahoma Hospital Association, hosts a timely conversation with Dr. Stephanie DeLeon, Associate Chief Medical Officer for Children’s Services at OU Health and Section Chief of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at the OU College of Medicine, and Dr. Donna Tyungu, Pediatric Infectious Disease Physician at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital and Section Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the OU College of Medicine. Together, they explore the causes behind the resurgence of measles in Oklahoma, the serious complications it can cause—especially in young children—and how health care leaders can build trust to combat vaccine hesitancy and protect public health.www.insidethe1581.com
