Amid a deadly measles outbreak in Texas, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has urged parents to consider the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) to protect their children and the community. In an opinion piece, he emphasized that vaccination not only protects individuals but also contributes to community immunity, safeguarding those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.

 

The outbreak has raised concerns as declining vaccination rates, fueled by misinformation, have allowed the disease to resurface. Kennedy highlighted the importance of accurate vaccine information, community engagement, and accessible healthcare to prevent future outbreaks and protect public health.
