New Sesame Street Video Features Elmo Saying ‘Get
Vaccinated’
by Warner Todd Huston 18 Apr 2015Washington D.C.
PBS’ Sesame Street has lent one of its most popular characters to
the Department of U.S. Health and Human Services
to urge parents to vaccinate their children.
After a winter filled with deadly outbreaks of Ebola
and dangerous outbreaks of Measles,
an extended discussion on the efficacy of vaccinating children arose that
brought regular Americans, doctors, and even celebrities to the national
debate.
Now Elmo is being used to urge vaccinations.
“I explained to him that, as Surgeon General, it is my job
to help everyone stay healthy,” U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy said of the Muppet character
in a statement. “Specifically, Elmo and I talked about the
importance of vaccines and making sure that all children are protected from
easily preventable diseases.”
“Come on everybody get vaccinated with Elmo!” the Muppet
Character says at the end of the video.
The debate over vaccinations still rages. In one school
district in Spokane, Washington, for instance, 143 kids were kicked out of
school for not being vaccinated. California is mulling a bill to eliminate the religious
exemptions to vaccines
for children in public schools.
California’s actions came after an outbreak of measles
that started in that state and infected 123 people nationwide.
