[QUOTE="seriously, post: 465520, member: 11920"] Hey Keista - Here's a link to a good explanation including graphics that explains herd immunity. [URL="http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/pages/communityimmunity.aspx"]http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/pages/communityimmunity.aspx [/URL] The issue isn't that one kid here or there isn't vaccinated. There will always be some people who are immune due to illness, age (young and old), allergy to vaccine, etc. It's that those people rely on herd immunity to protect them. For example, think of all the babies who are too young to be vaccinated being put at risk if a significant percentage of people are not vaccinated and disease spreads through the community because of that.
