Minnesota reported nine new coronavirus deaths today, the lowest number in two weeks, state health department data show. Its stay-at-home order expired today.
From CNN’s Arman AzadThe number of childhood vaccines administered in Michigan has dropped by as much as 22% amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report released Monday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In that earlier report, the CDC reported a “notable decrease” in the number of vaccines ordered through a federal program that immunizes half of all kids in the US. Unvaccinated or under-vaccinated children will be at risk of other infectious diseases besides coronavirus, the CDC cautioned at the time.
Fewer than half of five-month-olds were up to date on their vaccines this May, according to the study. Typically, about two-thirds of them are. “The observed declines in vaccination coverage might leave young children and communities vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles,” wrote Cristi Bramer and colleagues at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the Immunization Action Coalition in Minnesota and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
