Nearly a week ago, one school district in Auburn, Alabama had seen an outbreak with the mumps virus. Within the school district, there are about 200 students that have not been vaccinated for the virus, and the county's Public Health has now forced those students to stay home. For an event such as this, those students are required to stay home for 25 days after the last confirmed case, and then they would be allowed to return to school. This wouldn't be such a large problem, however more and more cases become confirmed as time goes on, so by the time all of this is resolved, those 200 students would be home for much longer than the normal 25 days. The parents are outraged by this, but within the vaccination exclusion forms, which has been confirmed by the head of the district, it clearly states that they would have to stay home in the event of an outbreak.
Get your children vaccinated, people!
