There was never a "Golden Age", in the past when Vaccine Acceptance and Vaccination Rates were

higher than they are today. The truth is there are more US children getting
more vaccines for more infections at younger ages than ever in history.

The 90% plus coverage rates we see

Decades of
30% - 40% today were first achieved in the
unvaccinated late 90's, and are the result of the
population with convergence of 3 programs-
no epidemics Mumps
not inc
until
mid 1) School attendance requirements, which
70's consolidated in the late 70's & early 80's (WA 1980);
MMR

2) The near complete indemnification for liability of

vaccine manufacturers and administrators by the
NVICP, The National Vaccine Injury Compensation
program in 1988; and

3) VFC- Vaccines For Children, a funding scheme

whereby the government buys and provides all
"required" vaccines, 1993.
Required vaccines are now
legislated purchases.
