Wow. Your experience with irresponsible parents is pretty outrageous. Definitely check out that link. It's long but the info in it is worth the time.
I just saw on Fox News that the epidemic is expanding and is now in other states.
But the news reader just said that the vaccine is 95% effective against this strain of mumps. Why are they saying that when 66% of the kids in Iowa who have mumps already got the vaccine????
They like to use the word UP TO 95% effective. The packet on the vaccine states between 59% to 94% effective.
I guess they were wrong about that number too, since it looks like 66% have gotten it already.
