It takes only one case of measles or other vaccine-preventable diseases for an outbreak to begin.

But vaccines can prevent or lessen the severity of conditions for everyone, according to Peter Gulick, professor of Osteopathic Medical Specialties at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and Sean Valles, professor and director of the MSU College of Human Medicine’s Center for Bioethics and Social Justice.

Gulick and Valles discuss the disinformation that leads to vaccine hesitancy and share respectful ways to educate citizens on the health benefits of vaccines.
