Joshua Barocas, of the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, urged parents to vaccinate their children if they had not yet done so. “If you are a parent who’s been on the fence, now is the time, given the outbreak potential and the outbreaks that we see, and I would also encourage healthcare workers to welcome people with open, non-judgmental arms,” he said.
