The CDC checked into over 1600 mumps cases among Orthodox Jews in NY and found that 89% of the cases occurred in people who had been properly vaccinated. The article goes on to say "chavrusa study, with its prolonged, face-to-face contact," probably resulted in high exposures to the virus, and these "overcame vaccine-induced protection in individual students." |
In that case, why vaccinate?

Because the vaccine still gives some immunity. My son's chevrusa got mumps but my son did not.

The people I spoke to about this last week tell me that chavrusas don't learn face to face many times, but rather next to each other, not breathing in the same air.
And the person it started with was 11 -- how much face to face learning was he doing?

My siblings are not vaccinated. Two of them got it, while two other ones did not. You can't necessarily credit the vaccine.
I am not vaccinated, my ds isn't either. I got the mumps while my ds who slept in the same bed as me did not. Again, no credit to vaccine. There are clearly many other factors involved.

Chavrusa study? Right. B/c non-Jews don't spend time face to face with one another?
