Expect a likely resurgence of vaccine-preventble pediatric infectious, communicable diseases - according to this study...measles, rubella, mumps, pertussis, polio, rotavirus...

Likely causes of this backslide in childhood vaccination:
▪️ global vaccine-"fatigue"
▪️ hyper-focused attention on one disease (🦠
SarsCov2), while virtually ignoring all others.

There could be 100s-of-thousands of additional vaxx-preventable deaths - among the young - annually due to downturn in vaccination.
