Parents do, of course, have the right to determine what's best for their kids. But when it comes to immunization, their decisions could get other kids sick. More parents are having their kids skip vaccines, and that could cause outbreaks of things like whooping cough and measles (ans we thought measles had been eliminated). The problem isn't in poor areas, it's in more affluent neighborhoods where parents are more susceptible to trends. Doctors are appalled, of course, but there's a measure of distrust of the medical establishment out there. So, parents, are your kids vaccinated or are you holding them out? (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
