Original: Younger children are also at risk for polio, rubella, and mumps until they are old enough to be vaccinated. Considering that there are about 4,000,000 births a year in the United States, that puts a lot of infants at risk for measles, pertussis, and other vaccine-preventable diseases. For measles, as kids aren't fully protected until they get their second dose of the MMR vaccine when they are about 4-years-old, that means an additional 12,000,000 toddlers and preschoolers are potentially at risk. Paraphrase: Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are putting other young children who are not old enough to be vaccinated in danger of getting polio, mumps, and rubella. In the United States, there are around four million births every year. Taking this into consideration that means infants everywhere are being put at risk for many vaccine-preventable diseases every day. In addition, twelve million children under the age of four are not completely protected from measles until they get there second MMR immunization at about the age of four years old.
