Douglas County’s kids’ vaccine program saw a shocking 39% drop this year, with fewer than 1,000 shots administered compared to over 1,600 last year — a worrying trend for uninsured and Native American families. Health officials are scrambling to understand why, as similar declines are reported statewide, with theories pointing to confusing guidelines or rising vaccine distrust. Caregivers fear outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles, calling the decline a public safety threat. The county awaits more data from pending records to fully grasp the impact and plan next steps.
