    Two of those infected at the hospital were a parent and child. The child had not been vaccinated and the parent was offered medication usually given to unvaccinated people that can prevent infection after exposure to measles, but refused it, the Philadelphia Inquirer first reported.

    Despite quarantine instructions, the child was sent to day care on Dec. 20 and 21, the health department said.

    Oh fuck that shit.
