Questions about shedding

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
What exactly does shedding mean and how long would you recommend keeping a non-vaxed child away from a child who is shedding? Do you only have to worry about the live vaccines? One can't possibly keep their non-vaxed child away from every child who is shedding??

Secondary Transmission

Only "live" vaccines shed via stool or/and saliva.

ETA - we never worried about other kids shedding vaccines onto our vax free grandkids, since they are protected via breast milk for at least the first 6 months and by the time they "share" toys, they are ready to build immunity to some of those infections anyway.
