For many people, the idea of walking into a large, intimidating, disinfectant smelling hospital building can be a repulsive one. Partially because of the fact that we know an invasion of privacy, pain, or awkwardness are most likely in store. I mean think about it, we are intentionally putting our state of being in the hands of a complete stranger! So out of everything that goes on behind the closed doors of an exam room, shots typically aren't the top of anyone's to do list.

I firmly believe that all people should be informed with accurate information pertaining to the importance in receiving the measles vaccine and others like it.
