...Only a bunch of pediatricians and health officials could celebrate, albeit in a muted kind of way, that toddlers across the nation are shrieking their lungs out. On the one hand, they?re chalking up the highest-ever rates of childhood immunizations, and on the other they?re bemoaning the fact that so many kids still remain out of reach.
