Question

Jackson, a 4-year-old boy, is unable to get the mmr vaccine due to a severe allergy to the antibiotic neomycin. jackson will be starting kindergarten next year and his parents are trying to decide whether to send him to oak crest elementary school, which has an 80% vaccination rate for mmr, or sycamore glen elementary school, which has a 95% vaccination rate for mmr

Answer 1

Jackson is prone to acquire measles, mumps and rubella virus even though he will be put to a school with higher vaccination rate for MMR. His parents must see his pediatrician for a catch-up dose so he can be vaccinated with MMR and be able to avoid the said viruses and had a strong protection against the viruses for life.
