Instead, the state numbers show fewer Colorado parents are vaccinating their children. The worst drop, she says, is the measles, mumps, and rubella shot among kindergarteners\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statewide, one in every 7 five-year-olds is not covered for measles. That\u2019s said to be in part because parents claimed vaccine exemptions, for one in every 25 kindergarteners\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denver and Aurora are a couple of the least-covered districts in Colorado. Both fall well below the recommended 95% measles vaccination rate. Becca hopes she and other public health nurses will be seen as trusted providers, because they\u2019re willing to give families the correct information they need about vaccines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
