Schools in Seattle are closed for winter break except for the one that's open for free vaccines. For me vaccinations is very important. The School District is hosting free immunization clinics because starting January 8th students without up-to-date vaccination records can't go to class. Right now that's about 2,000 kids.
If a student arrives and they are not up-to-date they will of course have to be kept out of class. This year saw the most measles cases in the U.S. in 27 years, with nearly 1300 cases in 31 states. In Washington state two outbreaks prompted lawmakers to remove personal and philosophical exemptions for the MMR vaccine. The goal, get more kids immunized. The threat of measles was most recently felt in Samoa where an epidemic left at least 81 dead mostly children. Now more American schools are taking action, hoping to stop a preventable disease.
