Re: Dont know if this was posted yesterday.. Measles exposure at Source mall
Its quite a frightening thing. I think we are going to see more and more of things like this. The outbreak of diseases that were once held at bay or almost eradicated will make their way back into society because of children who are not being vaccinated for them at an early age, if at all.
There have been many more cases of pertussis recently too.

Depends on the person. You can get titers to see what your immunity is to different diseases.

you can get a blood test to see if the antibodies are still in your blood. Nothing is guaranteed for life.

When I was a kid, I had all of my vacinations but I ended up catching the measles. At the time, there were clusters around town.  Never found out the reason behind it but only that maybe it was a bad batch of vacinations. It was horrible! I wish the measles on no one!

Unfortunately, not always. The vaccine may wear off, a small amount of people the vaccine doesnt work for (any vaccine for that matter) and some vaccines are from a bad batch and may not work at all.

I think it's as safe there as it is anywhere at this point.
People who came into contact w/ this child could be anywhere by now.

ITA!
Besides, this was one case that was reported and made known to the public.
You never know which germs, viruses, bacteria, etc you come in contact with every day.
