A North Carolina school known as a place for anti-vaxxers is dealing with a huge outbreak of chicken pox.
More than 2/3rds of the student body at The Asheville Waldorf School have not been vaccinated due to religious exemptions. Now the school is dealing with a chicken pox outbreak that has infected almost 1 in 4 students.
It’s the biggest outbreak in NC in 20 years. Local health officials stressed that vaccination is the best way to prevent chicken pox, and that the vaccine is 90 percent effective.
