        I have been frustrated in my searches by just such a thing. - Tenetennbaron Sep 24, 10:49 2
        
        but if you are talking about overall protection, not-vaccinated kids matter, a lot. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 11:13 1
        
        But of course. I don't pooh-pooh it, but I would also like to know compliance rates. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 24, 11:36
