Federal health authorities said Wednesday they were sending 50,000 doses of mumps vaccine to Iowa and other affected areas in an effort to control the largest outbreak in 20 years.
A virus that we vaccinate about everyone against is steadily spreading across the Midwest, and may spread nation wide. It makes me wonder, Just how quickly could a virus we don't have a vaccine against spread?
In any case, this does make for a good learning opportunity for the CDC to study many aspects of the spread and response to a dangerous viral outbreak.

It does make you wonder. I have heard that a lot of parents don't immunize their children because of fear of mercury poisoning. Any idea how many of the people that are coming down with the mumps now never had the vaccine? Or were most of them vaccinated and it just didn't work?
