Outbreaks of infectious diseases in camps with poor sanitation and lack
of immunization services burden the health of refugees and pose major obstacles to public health efforts, Dr. Mokdad said.
There is now a measles outbreak in this country, which is a direct consequence of the lack of
usual immunization services, and there have already been some deaths.
But Lance Rodewald, who directs
the Immunization Services Division at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), says he suspects there are already areas within the country where large numbers of parents taking exemptions have caused compliance to fall below 90 percent, a level generally considered a good measure of «herd immunity.»
Dr. Wayne Johnson is an experienced veterinarian who oversees
the immunization services provided in our animal clinic.
Other notable programs: Oregonians enjoy a strong medical marijuana program, as well as mental health and
immunization services.
Many medical hospitals, including public health department hire them to provide
immunization services to the population.
