Epidemic Points To Vaccination Import
My son got whooping cough last year. He didn’t whoop much. He didn’t miss much school. It wasn’t a big deal. But he had a lot of company in that brief and minor misery. More than 4,900 cases of pertussis were reported in Washington state in 2012. The largest rate of infection was among infants, who cannot be vaccinated against the disease. One infant’s death was attributed to the disease. It was a genuine epidemic, and it was helped along, in part, by people who chose not to vaccinate their kids. That was the bad news regarding vaccine-preventable disease in Washington state last year. The good news was this: Fewer people chose not to vaccinate their kids than the previous year. Which was better than the year before. Which was better than the year before/ Shawn Vestal , SR. More here.
Question: Do you have any reservations re: vaccinations?
