Check out PCC's interview with Dr. Seth Kaplan on measles and vaccine hesitancy.

“We're in the midst of a huge outbreak of pertussis down here,” Kaplan says. “I have diagnosed more cases of pertussis in the last year than I have in my entire career, and part of that is that I'm thinking about it more because I know it's out there and I'm looking for it, but at the same time, this is just kind of crazy. Usually we see it in the 9 to 11 year olds right before they get their Tdap, or we see it in the 16 to 19 year olds who haven't gotten a booster of Tdap yet. But now we're starting to see it in more ages, because we're starting to have more kids for whom that is a vaccine that, for some reason, they don't want to get. It’s painful, because then it puts our youngest patients at risk, because if they're exposed to pertussis, they get sick. Really sick. I mean, the bigger kids who get it are still coughing for two, three months, and even that doesn't convince [their caregivers] that they need a vaccine.”

Pediatrician Dr. Seth Kaplan discusses the challenges of vaccine hesitancy, the resurgence of measles, and the impact of misinformation on public health.
