Breaking news: U.S. vaccination rates are experiencing a significant decline, with no counties in Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, or Wisconsin meeting the herd immunity levels required for kindergarten students.

This alarming trend raises concerns about public health and the potential implications for community immunity against various diseases. The data indicates that vaccination rates across these states have not reached the necessary thresholds to ensure herd immunity, which is critical for protecting vulnerable populations.
