A federal judge has turned down a request to let more than 40 unvaccinated children return to classes in a suburban New York school, while there's a measles outbreak in the area.
Since December 7, the students from Green Meadow Waldorf School in suburban Rockland County just north of New York City, have had to stay home from school, in response to an exclusion order issued by the Rockland County Department of Public Health.Green Meadow is a K-12 school with about 300 students enrolled.Rockland County public health officials are reporting 146 total cases, with 82% of the patients not having had the MMR vaccine, for measles, mumps, and rubella.
One woman speaking on behalf of"49 children from one school" said her child had been out of school for 93 days.Another parent said"the stress and the burden on the whole family has been enormous," making it harder for parents to earn a living and take care of children who couldn't be in school during the day.
