In 2003, the Texas Legislature allowed parents to opt their children out of getting mandatory public school vaccines. Since then, exemptions have jumped more than 3,000%, to 72,743 statewide, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. That number of exemptions threatens "herd" or "community" immunity for vaccine-preventable diseases.
2003年,得克萨斯州立法机构允许家长为子女选择不接种公立学校的强制疫苗。此后,根据得克萨斯州州立卫生服务部的数据,豁免人数激增了3000%以上,全州达到72743人。这一豁免人数对疫苗可预防疾病的“群体”或“社区”免疫构成了威胁。
