How Vaccine Opt-Outs Could Put Classrooms at Risk

Listen Later

As schools start to reopen across the country, new CDC data shows that a record share of US kindergartners missed required vaccinations last school year. It comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to downplay vaccine efficacy and slash funding for research and development. We hear from a county health administrator in Texas who is concerned an ongoing measles outbreak could soon arrive on his doorstep. 

Guest: Dr. Philip Huang, Dallas County Health & Human Services director
