California kindergarten vaccination rates soar

After the 2014 measles resurgence California passed some laws requiring students to be vaccinated. It worked!

Via the L.A. Times:

New data released Wednesday showed that the percentage of Californias kindergartners as of last fall with all required vaccinations rose from 92.8% to 95.6%. Los Angeles Countys rate jumped from 90% to 95%, and Orange Countys from 92.5% to 95.5%.

More kindergartners were also getting the measles vaccination. An astonishing 97.3% of Californias kindergartners reported receiving both measles shots, up from 94.5% a year ago and 92.6% reported in the fall of 2014, just before the Disneyland measles outbreak struck.

Perhaps the doomsday clock will tick a fraction of a second backwards.
