College of Pharmacy measles vaccination clinic appears on Bangor Daily News
The measles vaccination clinic organized by UNE and Portland Community Health Center earlier this week caught the attention of the Bangor Daily News.
Dora Anne Mills, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P., vice president for clinical affairs, provided an interview for the article, revealing that Maine has one of the highest unvaccination rates in the country. She explained that it is much safer to begin vaccinating community members before an outbreak ocurs, and described the severity of measles symptoms.
The article also included a video, documenting Kenneth McCall, BSPharm, Pharm.D., associate professor in the College of Pharmacy (COP), administering the vaccine to patients, with the help of COP students.
