Measles, Community Immunity & How to Get Back There
Wednesday May 21 st @ 7:30am
Owing to the highly contagious nature of measles, community (formerly known as herd) immunity requires an approximate 95% rate of vaccination. So far this year, there have been more than 900 confirmed cases of measles in the United States and three deaths. This is the second highest number of measles cases since 2000 when measles was declared eradicated in the United States. Learn more about effective communications about vaccines and endeavoring to regain community by registering for Measles, Community Immunity & How to Get it Back on May 21st at 7:30am. William Valenti, MD chair of MSSNY Infectious Diseases Committee will serve as faculty for this webinar. Register now
