I'm curious if the immunity is wearing off

or if this is the result of all those years where parents, concerned about immunisation hysteria--particularly having to do with the pertussis vaccine, which can cause physical reactions--might have found loopholes in school requirements for immunisation records, etc. Remember, it wasn't so long that parents ago that parents were holding 'chicken pox' parties to expose their kids rather than take what was a feared immunisation, even though the complications (including death) for the disease far outweighed any from the shot.
