Get ready for more anti-vax hysteria:Mumps Shots Didn't Fully Protect in 2006

[TZ]

(AP) - Most of the college students who got the mumps in a big outbreak in 2006 had received the recommended two vaccine shots, according to a study that raises questions about whether a new vaccine or another booster shot is needed. The outbreak was the biggest in the U.S. since shortly before states began requiring a second shot for youngsters in 1990.

Nearly 6,600 people became sick with the mumps, mostly in eight Midwest states, and the hardest-hit group was college students ages 18 to 24. Of those in that group who knew whether they had been vaccinated, 84 percent had had two mumps shots, according to the study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments.

That "two-dose vaccine failure" startled public health experts, who hadn't expected immunity to wane so soon _ if at all.

The mumps virus involved was a relatively new strain in the U.S., not the one targeted by the vaccine, although there's evidence from outbreaks elsewhere the shots work well against the new strain.

I know the woos are gonna go nuts with this, but to me, its proof of the dangers of *not* vaccinating people. No doubt in my mind that the outbreak was the result of a non-vaccinated person(s) especially since this is a new strain here..I'm betting someone brought it over with them.
Its also rock hard proof that adults need to keep up on their vaccinations as well.
