Yes, vaccinated children will stand a higher chance of resistance so please don't think I am trying to debate that. I am just saying exposure is still imminent regardless of whether a kid is vaccinated or not and the traditional method of quarantining a kid that comes down with mumps or measles has worked fine for many many years. Also, modern medicine has seriously reduced mortality from those illnesses regardless.

Even if we agree with all of the above, the safer choice is still to vaccinate.
