24 cases in Columbus, Ohio. Nine hospitalizations. Mostly unvaccinated children under two years of age
Now with the outbreak, they will be vaccinating every child 6 months and older. Normally pediatricians don’t give vaccinations for live vaccines like the Measles vaccine til after a child reaches 1 year old. In an outbreak, they will vaccinate infants 6 months to 11 months as well. The main caveat to vaccinating early is that the immunity probably won’t last as long. As a consequence any Measles vaccinations given before the ate of 12 months do not count towards the lifetime vaccine requirement. That means those children will still need 2 vaccinations after the age of 1. The second one normally comes between the ages of 4 and 7.
Interesting stats that are coming out from the cdc and being printed in the WP

Jan/Feb ‘22 vax’ed made up 42% of CV deaths
Aug ‘22 vax’ed made up 58% of Covid deaths
The WP article requires signing up. But, here’s the info via a different source

Is that recent. Or are you referring to RSV? Kids immune systems are weaker right now because they’ve been very sheltered for 2 years. Every cold/respiratory virus is going to be problematic if we keep on the way we’re going.
I had zero immune system after my bone marrow transplant and got RSV and they told me ‘it’s just an everyday cold virus’. I did end up with pneumonia. But again , I was more fragile than a new born. Had I been normal, it would have been a non issue. Kids immune systems are weak right now. Not good.
