St. Jude Inpatient Visiting Guidelines
What does St. Jude tell visitors these days?
They mostly emphasize that folks should get vaccinated and protected so that they don’t get a vaccine-preventable disease, which would increase the chances that others could get sick too.
What about shedding?
It is rarely a problem.
“…the increased risk of disease in the pediatric population, in part because of increasing rates of vaccine refusal and in some circumstances more rapid loss of immunity, increases potential exposure of immunodeficient children.”
Medical Advisory Committee of the Immune Deficiency Foundation
More folks not getting vaccinated? That is a problem…
