Just saw a tweet by NHS about outbreaks in Leeds and Liverpool ...in people who haven't had the MMR vaccine.
Why is this happening in 2017 Britain?
I know why, but why?!!! I just can't get my head around the no vaccine logic 😐?
I'm worried about my 8 month old and the rest of the population who are immuno compromised ... I grew up in a "third world country" and the last I heard of measles was in the 90s. Chicken pox is still a fairly common illness there, but not measles. Vaccines are non-negotiable and all children must be before entering school... as a "third world country" resources aren't there to manage an outbreak of any sort, hence the policy.
Is this a developed country problem? Or is it that we've forgotten what these diseases are really like?
