Left to individual choice (as opposed to government mandates), only 60 to 70 percent of the community was immunized. That coverage failed to provide adequate community immunity to prevent an outbreak."]]> 2017-04-13 04:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aewest19/lzek7wnvlis3/wish/166195491 aewest19 https://padlet.com/aewest19/lzek7wnvlis3/wish/166195563 "'States without school immunization requirements had incidence rates for measles significantly higher than states with these requirements,' noted Dr. Katz. 'Recognizing these data, other states (not the federal government), quickly adopted similar requirements.
