measles

So, the grandson of the lady across the hall from me has the measles. Everyone in her family has had a booster. kenilyn found out there were no subs available at the high school where she was observing a class, because they were all at an elementary school in the district where teachers were coming down with the measles. The teachers, mind you, are old enough to pre-date this wave of people freaking out about vaccinating their kids.

And here's the latest surprising information on immunizations. If booster isn't specified, we tend to assume our immunities are for life, but upon what do we base this information? And what happens when the studies have new results, and the insurance companies still don't want to pay for the booster?
