[quote=Anonymous]Isn't it misleading to say "vaccine failure"? Aren't they really look at the rate at which individual's immune response fails? I am familiar with people who have had, say varicella or the vaccine, who nonetheless show no immune response on titers. They are a statistic in "vaccine failure," but it is actually their immune system that failed, while the vaccine or exposure worked just fine for almost everybody else. So these individuals need herd immunity to stay safe from a disease against which, for whatever reason, their bodies have not developed immunity. Wouldn't it be better from a public health perspective to change the language here? The vaccine isn't failing, immune systems are.[/quote]
