You shouldn't worry too much if your kids were immunized. There's a slight chance they might get it but they wouldn't be as sick as someone who never had their shots.
In NY , MMR shots are required before kids start school, but there are people who sign off on the shots because they're afraid of the side effects. I understand their reasoning, but it puts everyone at risk if they don't get immunized.

I understand their reasoning, but it puts everyone at risk if they don't get immunized. its my understanding that this Mumps round is not stopped by the immunization... there are hundreds of cases so far across the midwest, maybe more into the thousands mark by now. the problem is that you are contagious 9 days prior to any symptoms showing, and then like a week afterwards.... its become a rather large problem especially at kansas university right up the street from us. and, here, if you dont get the shots, you cannot attend school so, i believe everyone has had them One of the best days of my life... http://prince.org/msg/100/291111

that's not good.
I saw that on the news, it's some new strain that they are trying to modify the vaccine to cover.

not really.... just that IF signs were going to show up, they would likely show up my the beginning of the week next week. then, if they do show up, take them to the doctor right away and they are not allowed back to school for like a week and a half or so One of the best days of my life... http://prince.org/msg/100/291111

well chances are he won't get it. Tell him to wash his hands and to stay away from people who spray it when they talk We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

Thanks. Back when I was in the first grade (late 60's/early 70's), I don't think a vaccine for mumps even existed yet. If I did have a vaccine, I probably would not have come down with it in the first place. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

There's a new strain of whooping cough going around here that the vaccine doesn't cover either.
