Seattle children are less vaccinated than Rwandan kids
[quote]Parents are also increasingly opting out of the polio vaccine. Seventeen years ago, 95.4 percent of kindergarteners in Washington state were vaccinated for polio.
This year, 88.4 percent had the vaccine.
It’s even more dramatic in Seattle, where 81.4 percent of kindergarteners have been vaccinated for polio. That’s lower than the 2013 polio immunization rates for 1-year-olds in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Algeria, El Salvador, Guyana, Sudan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Yemen, among other countries, according to data from the World Health Organization.[/quote]
Quick thing I want to point out, this is an issue because some children might not be immunized by vaccination and others may be medically unable to receive it, so these unvaccinated kids are a risk to civilized citizens.
How do we raise vaccination rates?
Personally, I'm a fan of a massive tax on noncompliants, the funds from which go to public health campaigns.

Do you realize how pitifully low the odds of an unvaccinated person getting polio and transmitting it to a person who is medically unable to get vaccinated?

As a resident of Seattle I can say that everyone who lives here either doesn't believe in vaccines because it causes autism or some shit and the other half is made up of normal people who just want to live normally. So basically your point on Rwanda being better depends on the perspective. But then again Seattle sucks ass.

Make it a requirement (again) for attending public school or working in any position that deals with the public (w Medical exemptions/extensions).

9 RepliesI'm a fan of just having it enforced, of course with exemption to those who can not have it for medical reasons or who would receive no effect from it. You cannot give me a singular good reason why you shouldn't be vaccinated in this day if you can be.

Taxes would be good.
