Recent death from a vaccine-preventable illness
I was devastated to hear about the recent death of a Minnesota child from Hib meningitis. The reason I was so upset is that this is a vaccine-preventable illness and this death did not need to occur. Over the past few years we have heard much about “the dangers of vaccines.” What people do not realize is the immense danger in not immunizing your children.
