From the article "we’ll also share more details on an exceptions process for those who cannot be vaccinated for medical or other protected reasons."

Has anyone mapped this data with preventable disease outbreaks?

I've seen articles mapping antivaxxer enclaves with measles outbreaks. I have the good fortune to live next to a Pacific Northwest university town with an extremely low vaccination rate, and the inevitable result did result.

Interesting how prior to the last year, anti-vaxxers were mainly part of the nutty left, and now they've mostly shifted to the nutty right. The wonders of party allegiance...
