Vaccination is not just about preventing viral outbreaks, it is a critical shield in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance #AMR. 🛡️🦠This concerning piece by @nytimes.com highlights how declining vaccination rates are causing a resurgence of severe, vaccine-preventable bacterial infections

It's not just measles: Doctors are seeing more of a number of vaccine-preventable illnesses.
And it's not just childhood vaccines: They're seeing more adults refuse tetanus shots after injuries, and even blood transfusions bc the blood might come from a vaccinated donor.
From me and Dani Blum:
Doctors nationwide are encountering more children with whooping cough, bacterial infections and other serious illnesses, as well as more adults refusing tetanus shots.
