As long as the vaccines are available to us, that's what's in question.
As long as they're available to us and you can make the choice, then she should be fine.
But you bring up an excellent point because the vaccine schedule for many vaccines, such as the measles vaccine, you don't get your first measles vaccine until you're one years old.
So what happens?
You get your protection from herd immunity, from everyone around you.
And we know that as long as 95% of the people in a community are vaccinated, then everyone is safe.
NICU babies, people who are less than one years old, people who are immunocompromised, people who are allergic to vaccines, well, not everyone's vulnerable.
And so our children, especially children less than one years old, less than six months in the NICU, will be vulnerable while less and less people have the vaccine.
And I can tell you, as far as the measles vaccine, we've had a drop from 95% of the community being vaccinated to 92% from 2019 to 2023.
So we're already seeing it.
And in Texas, West Texas, where there were the most outbreaks, 82% is the rate of vaccines.
And so for NICU moms, kids who are young, this is very real and it definitely can affect them.
Absolutely.
You are right on.
And you know it because that's what we start having our babies.
But for me, so I did my internal medicine pediatrics residency at Georgetown.
And when you have moms, you it used to be when they came in from, you know, lower income countries, you had moms who were unvaccinated and we would see babies born with infections that were passed on, just like you said.
And they could be born with blindness.
They could be born with deafness.
They could be just not make it.
