“When I graduated from medical school in 1999, I thought the only way my classmates or I would ever come into contact with a case of measles would be through international volunteer work. Unfortunately, the success of the measles vaccination efforts of the late 80’s and 90’s is quickly unraveling and sadly my colleagues and I now fear that one day we may be dealing with an outbreak in Massachusetts like this one currently in South Carolina. Childhood vaccination is critical to keeping children and communities safe and healthy” Dr Reynolds

Some students who remain unvaccinated are now in a second 21-day quarantine since the beginning of the school year.

AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly responds to the recent changes on the CDC’s website - “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has been changed to promote false information suggesting vaccines cause autism. Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism. Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.

We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further."
