RE: Re: MMR gaps spark measles outbreak

[Guest guest]

The percentage of kids receiving the MMR, Sheri. Interestingly there is a

lady on my parenting list who lives in the village that has experienced this

measles *outbreak*. As I *understand* it, most of the people concerned were

vaccinated, although there were suggestions that it involved teenaged kids

who hadn't received the *full protection* of MMR because of their age.

They've got to have some excuse of course - couldn't possibly be that the

vaccine doesn't work...
