Abstract

Recent data from the US Department of Health and Human Services indicate a small but growing number of unvaccinated children under the age of two. Low vaccination rates can result in outbreaks of preventable diseases and even death. The World Health Organization (WHO) identified vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health in 2019.
