I am writing to express my concerns about the number of people who are not being vaccinated in our state. In Pennsylvania‚ we have one of the worst vaccination/immunization rates in the United States with only 87% of the people being vaccinated correctly. Vaccines protect people from preventable‚ spreadable diseases by providing immunity to the disease the vaccination is for.
