A whole new school year will start soon, which means children from all over the state will be packing themselves in classrooms to continue learning. A gathering of such a huge population in a limited space risks the chance of an outbreak, especially if at least one individual has not been fully immunized. By law in Berkeley and the rest of California, children going to school this year should be vaccinated to prevent contracting common diseases and spreading them others. Health officials continue to remind parents to get their children vaccinated at an urgent care center before sending them to school. Just this year, California had a major measles outbreak which originated from a local amusement park. It reached critical levels when it spread from county to county and spread to the neighboring states. It brought the total number of those who caught the disease to 668, which was a large jump from 27 cases in 2014.
