Haimy, so does that mean you leave your not-yet school-age children unvaccinated, running the risk of bringing the disease into your house? I hope there is no one in your home who is at risk due to low-immunity, a newborn, etc. Why not just vaccinate them in accordance with the recommended time for the vaccinations or at least at somewhat of a delay if you are concerned about the young age they are started? I know that in the gan where my daughter works, all the 3yo girls were being brought in to the local clinic to receive their second dose of the MMR vaccine in this latest outbreak. That means that these girls had already received their first dose about two years ago and now they are receiving their second, which means they are basically protected for life. Waiting until school age leaves your child at risk during those years.
