About this listen
Join host Holly Wayment as she delves into the pressing issue of measles in Texas with Dr. Jason Bowling, a leading expert and the Interim Division Chief of Infectious Diseases at UT Health San Antonio. With Texas experiencing the largest outbreak in years, Dr. Bowling discusses where we are right now with measles, the impact on the community, and the critical role of vaccination in preventing further spread.
Learn about the symptoms of measles, how they can mimic other viral infections, and the steps healthcare providers can take to accurately diagnose and manage suspected cases. Dr. Bowling also shares insights on the importance of maintaining high vaccination rates to create a "firewall" that protects communities, highlighting the challenges of vaccination hesitancy and the measures needed to counter it.
