I never thought that DS would catch something from a child that wasn't vaccinated. If this is true I would be LIVID if anyone (school, daycare etc...) had my child in an enviorment where he could get sick. I'm talking major rage!


My understanding (as a Mom, not a medical professional) is the concern is for children who have been immunized but the immunization wasn't effective (not many people have titers done to see if their child has full immunity) and younger children who have not had their full schedule of immunizations yet. And then also adults who are immune suppressed due to diseases, medications, etc.

(I do understand that their are valid reasons at times for not immunizing children or following a delayed schedule. I am just responding to SupaModel's statement. It is not ment as a critcisim of anyone here's choices, as I don't know your particular situation. )
