!!!! IF THERE IS AN OUTBREAK IN YOUR AREA !!!! your pediatrician may offer the mmr vaccine for your child as young as 6mo!!! my pediatrician was able to offer it for our 6mo old last month! we didn’t hesitate to get it!

Not talking about the largest Amish population in the United States. While some Amish families do vaccinate their children, overall immunization rates in many U.S. Amish communities have historically trended low (e.g., roughly 14% to 30% depending on the region and survey). Hesitancy is driven less by strict scripture and more by a general wariness of preventive government mandates, reliance on natural or herd immunity, and community skepticism. However, rates often spike or shift during localized outbreaks (such as measles) or via targeted community health outreach programs.

tiktoctillie :

I think parents should be held accountable if they lose their child because we have a vaccine that works

Moka12345 :

If only there was a way to prevent this

Witchesbrew17 :

This is what happens when you take medical advice from non-medical providers.

smarnt :

those with children who havent gotten their 2nd vaccine dose yet, ask your pediatrician! they do advanced 2nd dose in outbreak situations. Minimum between the doses is only 28 days

bensquido :

Here we go again

It’s jews and amish families leading the way

Grammy :

What a surprise! You’d think there wouldn’t be consequences to not getting vaccinated? I’m shocked I say!

Justblameme :

vaccine should be mandatory for a lot of things like this and I'm so sick of the anti-vaxxers and the misinformation being put out there to make people not want to protect themselves or prevent this disease from spreading!
