[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. Other than daycare, we kept DC away from public places - until had an initial measles vaccine and the other 1st round vaccines.  Even pre-RFK, isolated measles cases (usually from an international arrival) in public places happened in metro DC several times each year. [/quote]

First of all, "except for daycare" is an enormous "except".  Daycare is a huge source of germ exposure.   [/quote]

PP deliberately edited the prior post to omit important details…not helpful.

The daycare required full vaccination for anyone in the building of an age to be vaccine eligible.  All the older kids and all adults had to show proof of full vaccination under CDC rules.  This was before RFK. It was not much of an exception.  [/quote]

I find that hard to believe.  Are you telling me that your kid was in a daycare center that required vaccine records for every kid, every sibling of every kid, every parent, every emergency contact, the children of every emergency contact, and every staff member, delivery person, person coming in for an interview?  And that they disallowed both medical exemptions and religious exemptions?  That is amazing. I've worked in education a long time and I've never seen that degree of control.

Having said all that, that still means the majority of people in the infant room were unvaccinated, and unless those unvaccinated people's parents were also not grocery shopping with their child, or taking the child to older child's school or activities,  or letting their older kids have playdates at their house, or taking kids to the pediatrician, then daycare is still a pretty significant source of potential contact.

I'm sure you will come back and say that the daycare only accepts first born children of people who do contactless grocery delivery, and checks the UPS guy's vaccine record.  If that's true then I admit I was wrong and daycare care was only a small exception.  [/quote]
