1:29:18Now PlayingKris Ehresmann, Director of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Prevention and Control, updated members of the Senate Health and Human Services Finance and Policy Committee Tuesday, October 31, on the state's efforts to combat the spread of infectious diseases.
One of the key moments of the hearing focused on the agency's efforts to educate Somali-Americans that vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella are unrelated to autism. Senator Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, expressed concern that the agency listen and review the concerns of many of the families. Ehresmann responded that the agency has appointed a representative to serve as a liaison to the community. Senator Matt Klein, DFL-Mendota Heights, explained that it remains important for the agency to base information and assistance on science-based research and knowledge and applauded the state's efforts.
