@josiahpariah: The CHOP measles exposure has left many people asking some hard questions. On one hand anyone going into a NICU with a virus could cause life threatening complications, on the other measles is an extremely preventable disease with a well established vaccine. The worrisome thought is how far does this go? Can it go as far as separate healthcare settings for the vaccinated and uncaccinated? As wild as that sounds it’s one of many scenarios being suggested as more and more cases occur. Concerns we haven’t had in decades are becoming very real, and we don’t know how far this will go. #EduTok #measles #chop #vaccine #education
all the nurses that told people not to get vaccinated and it doesn't work should all have their licenses revoked.

Participation in public health should be a requirement for participating in public.

Were they unvaccinated or had they lost their antibodies from the vaccine over time? I asked to have my antibodies checked after a friend told me that her MMR had worn off. I really had no idea that this was something that could happen until a few years ago. Get your antibodies checked guys or you could also be at risk.

Meanwhile, any cough or sore throat and I’m calling out so I don’t take anything into the NICU accidentally (my anxiety has done weird things since working in a NICU 🙃)

Id lose my religion. My son spent his first 5 months in a nicu, born at 25 weeks. Measles would have killed him. Instead now hes a 22 yo college Sr. Praying for those families 💙

They should require proof of vaccination to enter the nicu and everyone needs to wear a mask to enter!

This isn’t uncharted territory, unfortunately. This is (with obvs a very different virus and situation) the same conversation we just had with Covid. I hate people. I hope the babies and staff and families are okay.

NICU mom/mom to a newly kidney-transplanted child with a compromised immune system. This is terrifying. This happened at Cincinnati Children’s emergency room a few days ago as well.

when i was pregnant I found out that my MMR had not fully kept vaccinated from rubella. I was panicking until I gave birth so I could get the booster because I know there are more and more people who choose to not keep themselves and others safe. its the ultimate sign of selfishness to not get vaccinated.

My oldest was a 24 weeker. He wasn’t even two pounds when he was born. Across from him in the NICU was a baby with cystic fibrosis. Next to him was a baby who was born to a mom with severe preeclampsia who fought for three days and didn’t make it. If someone came in an introduced measles to this I can’t even imagine what would happen. I am fkn furious for the parents, medical staff and babies in that NICU.

This is the exact mentality we need!! It’s wild out here and we need to be honest about the implications.

It’s crazy how this isn’t on the news anymore. It should be, people need to know about this and how their choices affect the people around them.

This has happened at the penn state children’s hospital as well. Super scary. My two kids are immune compromised and will get sick just from being in public. And my 8 month old isn’t old enough for the MMr vax yet. Since the PA’s numbers are going up we shall be home bodies.

My youngest spent a lot of time in the NICU and I can tell you on any given day is the most stressful of your life without something like this.

We have to draw the line somewhere! Enough already … legit medical reasons aside EVERYONE should be vaccinated
