Contrary to Brooks’ assertion that foreigners don’t get vaccinated as American children do, data from the World Health Organization shows that the following countries have higher vaccination rates for measles than the United States’ rate of 92 percent: Mexico (99 percent), Nicaragua (99 percent), Panama (98 percent), Belize (96 percent), Guatemala (93 percent), Honduras (93 percent), and El Salvador (93 percent). In fact, most countries in Central and South America have higher rates of measles vaccination than does the United States. In all, some 108 countries have higher measles vaccination rates than the United States.
