Tetanus is not a communicable disease. Correct the error.

Also, there is no tuberculosis vaccine in the US. Just a correction because this is most impactful if it is all medically correct. Thanks for what you are doing.

You are doing excellent work here ... this chapter, like the previous ones, has chilled me to the bone. Thank you so much for what you are doing here! People need to start using their heads more and perhaps these stories will encourage them to do that.

what some of these ignorant anti vaccine activists fail to understand u are even putting adults in harms way. If u ever have had a bone marrow transplant. All your childhood and other vaccines are wiped out. u can get the dead virus again a bit later but u can not get live vaccines. Measles is a live vaccine. it won’t protect those folks. how selfish can u be.

As a nurse, mom, and resident of a suburban neighborhood in north Texas, this is so relatable and true. Thank you writing it.
