I'm not jumping into the should vaccinate/should not vaccinate fight but I do have a question. If a child is vaccinated for measles, for example, and attends public school, aren't they immune to catching measles from a non vaccinated child? Isn't that the purpose of the vaccination?

Children don’t get their full round of vaccines until they’re one year old, so infants are susceptible.

The idea is to eradicate measles. Before Obastard opened the borders, measles outbreaks were unheard of.

Thanks for this point.
Now I don’t have to make it - - -
This whole debate rears it’s head every so many years.

There is no 100% immunity, so I would not want any un-vaccinated diseased child near mine, despite my vaccinated child having pretty good immunity to the diseases.
