If your family is vaccinated against those diseases, what do you have to fear from contact with the un-vaccinated?

Just sayin'.

Because different vaccines have different lengths of time over which they are effective and different degrees of effectiveness. If you get a large enough inoculum of a disease organism, your immune system, though previously inoculated, can be overwhelmed. And in a doctor's office, where there may be patients with compromised immune systems, someone coming in with a full-blown contagious disease as a result of failure to vaccinate poses an deadly threat.

A vaccination is like a kevlar vest. It'll stop a lot of shots, but that doesn't mean it's impregnable.

Thank you.

The ignorance here with regard to vaccines is incredible and dangerous.

Very few folks suffer side effects.

If your doctor’s office is full of a bunch of sick patients with ‘compromised immune systems’ I highly recommend getting another doctor.

Could you overstate this a bit more more please, I don't believe you've set off the requisite amount of panic.
