This article is about orange county not allowing a bunch of students without proof of immunization go to school. There has been a recent outbreak of the measles, and they don't want other students to be infected. Dr. Eric Handler, the Orange County public health officer, is quoted saying "If there is a case in the school and their child is not immunized, they will be removed from the school for 21 days. From and epidemiological stand point, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, this is a necessary measure." They have been watching their students closely, because the kindergarten immunizations have decreased a lot since 2002, and they don't want the disease to spread. They are keeping some out of school, so that others may thrive.
This is kind of wrong in my opinion. they shouldn't be able to take them out of school because they haven't been vaccinated. The child's life doesn't deserve to be ruined, just because their parents chose not to give them their shots. I'm not saying I want everyone else to get sick, but the kids who aren't allowed in school should get some sort of online class, at least, or a tutor to teach them this stuff at home.
