More than 90% of chickenpox cases in New York City outbreak among unvaccinated people
  • My understanding is , besides cost, the virus is just so contagious, that it's an all or nothing proposal.
    Vaccination is always better for the individual, but for the "herd" it's actually worse unless you can get almost everyone at once. That would have been hard enough before that arsehole Wakefield and even moreso now.

    But it's a numbers game. Our doctors looked at the statistics and made a recommendation when the vaccine became available, but now there is actual data on a generation of it's use in other countries to add to that analysis. Maybe that will lead to a change in policy, maybe it will just affirm it. If a change is deemed to be worth it in the long run, the transition period would be difficult.
