The national vaccine information center believes that due to massive under reporting, these figures represent 10-15% of the true number of cases...
I don't know what the figures would be if kids weren't immunized but I do know that the US has about 98% MMR takeup and still gets measles epidemics at 3-4 year intervals....
(Taken from a 'what doctors don't tell you' publication.)
The US a country that requires vaccination certification direct from your childs primary healthcare physician as part of the school application process.
This is already the rule here in the US.
