Forgotten Diseases Make Vaccines Easy to Dismiss, Experts Warn

Original: immunizations

An op-ed from the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy argues that diseases like Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) have become so rare in the United States that people forget how dangerous they once were, making their vaccines seem unnecessary. The piece warns this complacency could allow preventable diseases to return as immunization rates slip.

Why now: Ongoing public debate about vaccine hesitancy and declining immunization rates in the US is renewing attention to diseases that vaccines have largely eliminated.
