Measles Outbreak in an Immunized School Population (original) (raw)

New England Journal of Medicine, 1987

Abstract

This letter in response to an article about measles outbreak in a secondary school population said to be 99% immunized cites the present authors experience with measles outbreaks in a Texas school system. In this case there was a group of parents who held nonreligious views against immunization. Their children were faced with exclusion from school during the episode. The author said he had reason to believe that some of these parents may have presented falsified evidence such as baby books notes on pieces of papers with dates and health department records without official stamps. He cited these examples to advise the health officers be cautious in evaluating the validity of evidence of vaccination.
