In this episode, I speak with Dr. Steve Eppes, a Pediatric Infectious Disease specialist, about the rising rates and re-emergence of various vaccine-preventable diseases. We discuss who is at risk, how and when to test for and diagnose these illnesses, and challenges and creative solutions to infection control in our hospitals and clinics.  

Below is a link to the Texas Department of State Health and Human Services page, which has compiled CDC recommendations for vaccination, testing and PEP, ongoing tracking of cases, infographics that can be printed into posters or handouts, and parent, school, and clinic resources regarding measles (I have no financial interest or association with the Texas DHHS, just found this to be a thorough, consolidated resource)
