'We've had to change the way we live because of a small minority of people.' Two-month-old Malky Singer is too young to get the measles vaccine. So with a local outbreak growing, her parents saw only one choice: keep her at home.
Monsey, New York The Singer family has had to change their lives because of a group of people they've never met.
The Singers live in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Rockland County, New York, where a measles outbreak continues to grow, health officials say, because many parents refuse to vaccinate their children. They would love to vaccinate their daughter, Malky, but at 2 months old, she's too young.Malky Singer.So for another four months, until Malky is old enough to get the vaccine, the Singers are keeping her away from public places.
Like many families in the religious community, after she goes back to work, she had planned to send her baby to a sitter who cares for several children in her home. If the outbreak is still going on, though, she and her husband will pay a babysitter to come to their house at twice the price. "It's one thing when someone makes a decision that only affects them. But when someone doesn't vaccinate their children, it's extremely selfish," she said.
