As reported by The New York Times, reported cases of measles worldwide surged by nearly a third last year, partly because parents did not vaccinate their children. David Kimberlin, M.D., can comment on the measles vaccination and the threat of measles in America currently.
An advocate for vaccinations, Kimberlin considers vaccines to be safe, effective and life saving for children. Kimberlin provides medical perspective to parents who question the risks of vaccinations, along with expertise in disease outbreaks.
