"A measles outbreak in Washington state prompted Gov. Jay Inslee to declare a state of emergency on Jan. 25. As of Thursday, 55 cases have been confirmed this year, most of them in unvaccinated children under age 10. The outbreak's epicenter is Clark County, Wash., just north of Portland, Ore. Measles is a highly contagious disease that can result in brain damage, deafness and, in rare cases, death. In 2000, measles was declared eliminated from the United States, thanks to widespread vaccination campaigns. Yet cases have popped up in 11 states so far this winter, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is tracking three outbreaks (defined as three or more confirmed cases) in New York City, New York state and Washington state. Read Gov. Inslee's Declaration Of A Public Health Emergency Amid The Measles Outbreak Vaccination rates around 90 to 95 percent are generally enough to prevent an outbreak, according to health officials, but rates have fallen across the United States. One factor is the spread of misinformation about the measles vaccine, which is considered safe and effective by health authorities. Vaccination rates in the Pacific Northwest are among the lowest in the nation. While all school-age children are required to receive the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, Washington is among the 17 states that allow "philosophical exemptions," meaning a parent can excuse a child from being vaccinated for virtually any reason." https://www.npr.org/sections/health...ases-mount-in-pacific-northwest-outbreak

I bet those same parents feel the need to eliminate peanuts from school, but not vaccinate. A very preventable situation, I hope the kids all pull through OK...and I'd not hate the parents being held accountable if they didn't vaccinate by choice.

Christian Scientists’ influences on the March.
We don’t need no stinking vaccinations.
Sad and so preventable.

How did the children contract measles? They must have been exposed to measles in their environment to get measles.

Was reading lots of parents don't want to go outside with their babies, since they can't get vaccinated until 1 or so. People are so fugging stupid. Right now, there ain't a school opened in 4 surrounding counties here because of so much flu. Our county and neighboring county have been closed since Tuesday because of the flu.

Some people may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). They may need to be hospitalized and could die. As many as one out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children. CDC

I had red measles and German measles when I wed young. I don’t really remember being sick. I remember it well. Went with dad to the grocery one night and was to wait in the truck. Got tired of waiting and went in with my pajamas on, spotted like a Brittany and people were running from me. Dad just picked me up and back in the truck I went.

I don't understand people who don't get their kids vaccinated ! There's a theory that the MMR causes Autism. It's totally unproven, but there's a lot of parents that are scared of it.
