ARC Chief Medical Officer Speaks Out on Vaccines

“We’re lucky to have ample vaccines to protect against serious diseases,” says Jay R. Zdunek, DO, MBA, Chief Medical Officer for Austin Regional Clinic. In a recent Letter to the Editor in the Austin American-Statesman, Dr. Zdunek speaks out about the “anti-vaccine” bills filed in the Texas Legislative session currently in progress, citing the need for vaccines to help combat diseases like measles and whooping cough that were nearly eradicated a decade ago.

ARC has long advocated for immunizations to prevent serious diseases. “Let’s not take it (ample vaccines) for granted,” he says.
