This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying.

I genuinely do not understand management's refusal to agree to basic protections, like that they won't replace us with AI. It's baffling. Makes no sense. We're on strike to show management how serious we are about this, and how eager we are to get a contract done!

Idaho changed the law last year, making it illegal for school nurses or child care businesses to send home unvaccinated kids in the event of an outbreak, unless they show symptoms. Measles is uniquely good at getting around though; a person can spread it for up to 4 days before they show symptoms.
