Vaccination Insights

A significant percentage of measles cases occur among children with non-medical exemptions, highlighting the impact of intentional vaccine refusal. Interestingly, families choosing not to vaccinate often come from higher socioeconomic backgrounds, while those who are under-vaccinated tend to face barriers linked to lower socioeconomic status. Additionally, while vaccines are generally covered by health insurance in the U.S., costs can quickly add up for those outside recommended age ranges or needing travel vaccinations.
