As of now, 94 percent of chil- dren in this country are vaccinated, but the number of cases is growing at epidemic numbers. Once we reach 1,000 cases, we are going to have lots of trouble for the un-vaccinated children anywhere. So far this year, we have seen 695 cases in 22 states as of two weeks ago. No human virus is more infectious than measles. If you or your children are un-vaccinated, please get vaccinated. We need to contain this outbreak before it grows and eventually starts killing its victims. Think about this. If you have questions, go get the answers you need. When I was a little kid, I got all those childhood things like measles, mumps, and chicken pox. Thank God, I never got the whooping cough. It tired my mother out taking care of me and my little brother. I got it. He got it. I got it. He got it. Must have felt like a bad dream for my mom. You can bet, if more vaccines were available my mom would have made sure we both got those shots and quickly.
