Interesting. How long is a vaccination effective?
For example, tetanus requires a 10 year booster.

Hooray for Rachel Carson and the banning of DDT. Nothing like a good case of malaria to thin down the herd of humans infesting Mother Gaia.

A booster is given at 4-6 years which has a 90+% chance of conferring complete immunity. All immunity wanes as you age though, which is another reason behind herd immunity's positives. A booster is currently not recommended for later in life, unless there is travel outside the US.

You having a fat child does not expose me to infections. Vaccinations are not 100% proof against illness and never presented that way. What is known is illness it typically shorter in duration and amount of shedding is lower in vaccinated populations.
