The trouble with herd immunity, as a parent, is that the statistics are all well and good, but if left un-immunized and your child becomes infected you can call it 'just one of those things' or 'natural causes' whereas if your child reacted seriously to a jab this would be due to an act of commission rather than omission on your part.
{Was there not a court case where a mother insisted that the best result for her child was for it to be not immunised, but that every other child should be, and the court upheld this view?}
In the end, late 80s we had our children immunised, but separate jabs rather than the then contentious 3 in 1. Given that each immunization must produce a reaction hitting an immature system with three at a time doesn't feel right, and at least one mother in our then village felt that her child was dramatically permanently affected by the MMR jab.
