Vaccines should be seen, for all of the herd
Preventing diseases that can’t be cured

Last century in these United States
Kids died young and at very high rates

First on the scene were dip and tet
Good health for you and even your pet

Then came Doctors Sabin and Salk
Polio’s gone – it was all the talk

M – M – and R rolled out a little later
Thanks again to a clever investigator

Law 277 brought help for kids in our State
Vaccines required for public schools – the end of debate

Ah – now you know the scoop for the Vax Scene
For each dollar spent, they save seventeen

CDC says August is the month to be vax aware
Immunize your loved ones – it shows that you care

Rap song by ChrisAnna Mink M.D. aka

The Vaccinator!

Early in the 90’s, a conjugate for Hib
Then came pneumo, we were gettin’ kinda glib

With natural infection disappearin’
All the shots, people started fearin’

Vaccines a victim of their own success
Parents refusing the shots – oh what a mess?

Roaring back came pertussis, measles and varicella
Then came mumps, quite a threat to all of the fellas

Action was needed – public health had to get tough
Educating refusers just wasn’t enough
