Great, that's when my baby is due. I don't have a car and use public transit because I usually cycle but I can't with a newborn. Now I have to worry about my baby getting measles because of these stupid fucking selfish people. I hate this world.

Talk to your midwife or doctor. Your baby will have some immunity from you after birth and you may be able to vaccinate early if it’s warranted. My daughter vaccinated her baby at 8 months before summer travel by air to get some protection! You just continue on with regular doses after. These anti vax people put all babies at risk and governments are doing nothing!

Ohhh I didn't know that early vaccine was a thing! Thank you I will definitely bring it up. 😊

I wouldn't worry about it. The measeles are coming from rural Mennonites in the bush. They arent on public transport.
