The two who couldn't be vaccinated because of their condition are a sad happening. I'm not blaming them or their parents. However, I heard that the reason this episode came to our attention was that the infected family led to a significant outbreak...much more than those of the two unfortunate kids who couldn't be vaccinated.
Most of those other kids had parents who decided they didn't need to be vaccinated. Did they do it for medical or other reasons? If their decision was "other," than shouldn't an estimate of how common vaccination was around them be part of that decision?
“However, I heard that the reason this episode came to our attention was that the infected family led to a significant outbreak...much more than those of the two unfortunate kids who couldn’t be vaccinated.”
The two kids were part of those exposed, luckily, they did not get infected. The actual outbreak was not large:
“Arizona has diagnosed only seven cases of measles, but those infected people have exposed as many as 1,000 others, including babies too young to have had their first measles shot, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
The Arizona measles cases began with one unvaccinated family of four from Pinal County that went to Disneyland, according to state health officials. Back at home, one of the children went to two urgent-care centers for medical attention, exposing 18 children, 13 of whom were unvaccinated. That family also exposed a woman from Maricopa County, who then exposed as many as 195 children at a child care center. A man who caught measles from the family then exposed others.”
So they infected seven people, five from their hometown, and I believe two from Maricopa county. Thousands were exposed, but thankfully, the immunity from vaccinations seems to have prevented a wider outbreak.
