Last month, the death of a child who was not vaccinated in Texas was not enough to shake to exempt his children, and pediatricians worryed that more children would get sick.
Dr. Lesley Motheral, a pediatrician in Texas, said, “This is still snowball. “We still have a lot to do and I am very honest with you.”
