Together, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Big Cities Health Coalition (BCHC) issued the following statement in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recent changes to its vaccine webpage: The nation’s local health departments play a critical role in educating their community members, answering questions, and providing access to vaccines for those who choose to protect themselves and their loved ones from unnecessary illness or suffering. These critical conversations must be based on scientific evidence, which shows no causal link between vaccines and autism. Efforts to misrepresent the evidence or distort public understanding without new evidence can cause real harm and further complicate the work of local public health to keep their communities safe and secure. ➡️Read the press release here: https://ow.ly/Jyen50XvM7E
