Fear, misinformation, and politics are all reasons more Oklahoma kindergarten students are getting exemptions from immunizations.
No other state in this region has more of those students exempted. Myka Saltsman is the head of the State Health Department’s vaccine program for children.
“For our last Kindergarten survey, we were at about 3.5 percent,” Saltsman said.
Saltsman said the national rate for exemptions is about 2.6 percent.
