Opinion: Are Colorado parents vaccine hesitant post COVID or just behind?

Opinion: Are Colorado parents vaccine hesitant post COVID or just behind? It’s back to school. Are your kids vaccinated? Equally important, are the other kids vaccinated? Under Colorado law, students in grades k-12 must be vaccinated for chickenpox, diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis, polio, rubella, tetanus, and whooping cough unless parents seek a medical, personal, or religious exemption.Unfortunately, the percentage of kindergarteners and older students who are fully vaccinated has declined over the past couple of years. Only 88% of kindergarteners were up to date on their shots in the 2022-2023 school year, down from 5.2% from the last school year. There was a 2.2% decrease in vaccination rates among all school-aged kids over that time. Older students were less likely to be vaccinated than they were in 2018.Sadly, whether because of procrastination or vaccine hesitancy, the decline in vaccination rates increases the probability of an outbreak. For people to achieve group-level immunity for measles, which is highly transmissible,...
