As the novel coronavirus raged across Metro Detroit this spring, Dr. David Obudzinski watched well-child visits to his Bingham Farms-based pediatric practice plummet, leaving scores of his tiniest patients unvaccinated.

"There was a lot of fear out there," Obudzinski said. "There are some that I was told the mom made the appointment and then the dad said, 'Nope, you not going.'

"More didn’t talk about it. They just called and canceled."

Obudzinski's observations come as Michigan vaccination rates have dramatically fallen during the COVID-19 crisis, according to a study published by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this month — a development that has public health officials worried about future outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the state. The diseases range from measles, mumps and rubella to diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, or whooping cough.

Vaccination rates overall for children 18 and younger dropped by more than 20%, the study found. Measles vaccinations dropped from just over 76% among 16-month-olds, to just over 70%, leaving communities vulnerable to outbreaks, according to the report.

"The observed declines in vaccination coverage might leave young

children and communities vulnerable to vaccine-preventable

diseases such as measles," the study concluded, noting that 90% to 95% vaccine coverage is required to establish herd immunity to measles and avoid outbreaks.
