The New York Times is examining how public health is changing in the state, from the whooping cough outbreak to vaccine policies, and we want to hear from you.
President Trump expected to sign executive order that once again tries to upend the vaccines children receive to protect them against measles, mumps, tetanus, whooping cough and other dangerous diseases.
Doctors nationwide are encountering more children with whooping cough, bacterial infections and other serious illnesses, as well as more adults refusing tetanus shots.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Wednesday questioned Dr. Casey Means, President Trump’s nominee for surgeon general, on her previously recommending psilocybin use. Means said she won’t broadly encourage parents to vaccinate their children against measles, the flu or whooping cough.
Casey Means faced aggressive questioning regarding the number of vaccines required for school aged children.
