Due to an adverse effect from 5 people who recently had the mumps vaccine, vaccination of the mumps have ceased in Alberta, LOL.

Some states require flu and pneumonia vaccines for pre-schoolers!

A few questions come to my mind regarding this issue. One is how many of the people involved in the mumps outbreak, had been fully vaccinated against mumps. My guess would be that most if not all of the people involved in the outbreak were fully vaccinated - which leads to the question of does the vaccination really provide protection
The other question to consider is does the risk of the vaccination outweigh the risk of getting mumps. As mumps is generally mild (especially in young adults with healthy immune systems), and the risks of vaccinations are not fully understood (especially dangerous all are all of the chemical adjuncts added into the vaccine mix), vaccination is at best a 50/50 crapshot. The decision should be left to to the induvuals and their parents and not be forced down our throats by the medical mafia
BTW - A far better solution to the University to avoid illness would be to educate its students in what wellness is and to provide good quality meals made with whole foods. This would help to counter some of the effects of stress and lack of sleep that college sttudents typically endure.

I can see where you might keep the students out of class for the duration of the quarantine period, but after that I see no use for it. And that would go for the students who have been vaccinated, as well as those who have not been vaccinated. The only people who should be allowed in class are those who have had mumps.
