I also had the chance to talk with the head of pediatrics
@RushMedical about the importance of vaccines. With more than 1,000 confirmed cases of measles across 28 states, it’s critical we talk about the science behind one of our greatest public health achievements.#VaccinesWorkpic.twitter.com/UTYWtvE2yW

We have spoken with the national association of insurance commissioners
