Kindergarten immunization rates
With news that measles has infected Disneyland and is spreading throughout the country I decided to check out the immunization rates around Contra Costa which you can see here. As you can see in the above map, there are pockets of Walnut Creek among other cities that are rated as Highest risk (more than 10% of students not immunized because of Personal Belief Exemption). As more children end up not getting vaccinated the herd immunity loses effect that can cause those who are unable to get vaccinated for medical reasons or are too young/old, infected. Or is not that big of a deal? There is a Brady Bunch episode from 1969 where the kids all come down with a case of measles that didn’t seem very serious to me. See it here.
Do you think the Personal Belief Exemption for vaccinations should be eliminated?
