Vaccines save lives, and herd immunity is a major public health issue. We do NOT want to go backwards- pertussis outbreaks can and HAVE happened in Texas with decreased vaccination rates. We don’t want to have mumps outbreaks as well (which have happened in the US recently). The COVID vaccine has kept my family safe from hospitalization and ICU stays, for my elderly parents, myself and my husband, as well as my kids. Every Texan deserves a chance at good health, and that is what vaccine herd immunity is there to protect Texans.
