Brave AI:

Nationally, approximately 92.4% of kindergarteners in the U.S. received the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine for the 2025–2026 school year. This is down slightly from 92.5% the previous year and remains below the ideal 95% threshold required to maintain community herd immunity. -ArsTechnica

Thanks!

That means that my guess of 7% unvaccinated was not unreasonable.

So, the number to follow (in this instance) is not the ratio of vaccinated to unvaccinated children who fall ill, but how many vaccinated who fall ill relative to the total number of vaccinted children.
