If you wish to rent a dumpster in Lebanon, you will find that prices vary considerably from state to state and city to city. One means to get actual estimates for the service you need will be to phone a local dumpster firm and ask about their prices. You can even request a quote online on some websites. These websites may also include complete online service that's always open. On these websites, you can pick, schedule and cover your service whenever it is suitable for you.
Factors which affect the price of the container include landfill fees (higher in some areas than others) and the size of the container you select. You should also consider transportation costs and the kind of debris you'll be placing into your container.
Price quotes for dumpster rental in Lebanon commonly include the following: the size of the container, the kind of debris involved, the base price for the dumpster, how much weight is contained in the quote, a given rental period and delivery and pickup fees.
When you rent a dumpster in Lebanon, you're dealing with professionals who use terms connected with the construction industry and dumpsters each day. As you probably don't use these terms every day, here's a bit of the lingo to get you acclimated. This will really assist you to deal with business employees who may get impatient if you don't realize what they are explaining about their products.
"Container" and "roll off" are both satisfactory terms for the large metal box you need to rent. Professionals don't use the term "dumpster" as much as the other terms. Containers are often leased in cubic yard sizes, but you don't have to comprise the "cubic" part. Only say "yard" or "yarder." If, for instance, you want to rent a 30-yard dumpster, you may say, "I am interested in a 30-yard roll off" or "I'd like to rent a 30-yarder." Take advantage of these terms, and you'll seem like a guru when you call.
Dumpster rental companies that charge flat rates in many cases are the very best choices for contractors and home owners. When you take advantage of a company that bills a flat rate, you can expect at least two advantages.
Paying a flat rate generally means that you get to avoid any hidden fees and charges. Firms that do not charge flat fees may contain additional charges for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in mind, however, that you still might need to pay extra should you wish to include certain things and stuff in the dumpster.
Having a flat rate also means you can prepare your payment ahead of time. This really is particularly useful when you need someone else to make the payment for you. When you know the exact quantity, you can compose a check ahead of time. Afterward, anyone can pay the rental business when its driver drops off the dumpster.
You can place most kinds of debris into a dumpster rental in Lebanon. There are, however, some exclusions. For instance, you cannot place compounds into a dumpster. That includes motor oil, paints, solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, and cleaning agents. Electronic Equipment and batteries are also prohibited. If something poses an environmental risk, you probably cannot set it in a dumpster. Contact your rental company if you're uncertain.
Specific types of okay debris, however, may require additional fees. If you plan to throw away used tires, mattresses, or appliances, you should ask the rental company whether you are required to pay another fee. Adding these to your dumpster may cost anywhere from $25 to $100, determined by the item.
One of the most significant things to do when you're contemplating a building or remodeling job is to plan ahead. Section of that procedure will probably be researching your dumpster needs for the project. Knowing ahead of time how dumpster rental in Lebanon functions will make things easier when you begin the procedure. It's possible for you to locate most of the typical info you need online, but for advice unique to your area, you'll have to call your local business. Make sure to ask about any hidden or additional fees so that you don't get stuck with a surprise bill.
One of the biggest parts of your research will be establishing the right size container you need to rent predicated on the size of the endeavor. This may be your largest price, so be sure you get a size that's big enough to last for the whole project. Other issues to research first include a possible place for the container, the sort of waste that you're throwing away and the amount of time you will need the dumpster.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in Lebanon will make your job easier and safer to conclude on time. When renting a dumpster in Lebanon, follow these suggestions to help you plan ahead.
1. Clear an area that is large enough for the dumpster to sit down for a number of days or weeks. Additionally, make sure that you and other individuals have access to the dumpster. You must have a clear path that prevents injuries.
Trash removal vs dumpster rental in Lebanon - Which is good for you?
When you own a job you are going to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your rubbish and junk for you, or in the event you need to just rent a dumpster in Lebanon and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better alternative in the event you want the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also work nicely in the event that you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Rolloffs normally begin at 10 cubic yards, so should you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for much more dumpster than you desire.
Trash or crap removal makes more sense should you want another person to load your old things. In addition, it works nicely should you want it to be taken away fast so it's outside of your own hair or in the event that you simply have a few large items; this is probably cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
The weight limitation on 40 yard containers typically ranges from 4 to 8 tons (8,000 to 16,000 pounds). Be very conscious of this limitation and do your best not to transcend it. Should you go over the limit, you can incur overage fees, which add up quickly.

Sadly, (until now) Zappa had been left unexplored in my world of musical taste. But when a grumpy record shop owner, (à la High Fidelity) mumbles "good choice", you very quickly hop on the Zappa train, and pretend you've always been there. And how jazzed I am to be here! The Hot Rats record is dirty, funky goodness, so I had to pair it with the Raiz Branco. Both are experimental forces to be reckoned with; they confuse and delight the senses with chewy texture, popping floral notes and gritty licks.
WINE: 2015 Raiz Branco is a Portuguese white "field blend" with the Loureiro grape holding sway. When I (and probably you, too) think of white wines from Portugal, I think Vinho Verde: vibrant, clean & simple. This wine is vibrant to be sure, with high toned orange and peach blossoms. But it also gets down & dirty; skin contact and aging on the lees in concrete allow for a wild, raw temperament. Raiz is helping to pave the way for more beat winemaking like this in Portugal that I hope continues.
TUNAGE: Hot Rats by Frank Zappa. I don't always know what I'm looking for when I walk into Dave's record store, but I always walk out with something I definitely need.
SOURCE: This wine is fresh off the boat from our good friends at Soil Expedition Co. They just brought this and many more avant-garde gems over from the homeland, so get on this train now!

Other names: Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi[E6Y]
Deputy for Borgo San Donnino (now Fidenza), 1861-65[E6Y]
An Italian classical composer, Verdi started music lessons at the age of four, and learnt the spinet at the age of seven. At the age of ten, he went to school at Busseto and was later composing music for the town's church and orchestra. He was taken under the wing of music enthusiast Antonio Barezzi (who later gave him his daughter in marriage) in 1831 and helped him study in Milan. He later studied privately under the composer Vincenzo Lavigna. He enjoyed some success with his first opera Oberto, conte di San Bonifacio, produced at La Scala in 1839, but his next opera, Un giorno di regno, was a failure which, coupled with the deaths of his wife and two children, led to his severe depression. His opera Nabucco was first performed in 1842 and after its great success, Verdi was considered a hero of Italian music. He continued to produce operas regularly, many regarded as masterpieces. He entered politics in 1861 at the encouragement of Cavour. In around 1873, he went through a period of public scandal because of his relationship with the soprano Teresa Stolz. He retired to his farm at Sant'Agata, near Roncole, in 1873, but returned to the stage with his opera Otello which opened at La Scala in 1887. He then retired once again, but was persuaded one more time to return with his final opera, Falstaff, in 1893. During retirement, he composed some sacred music.[E6Y]
Place of birth Roncole, Parma[E6Y]
Place of death: Milan[E6Y]
Place of burial: Cimitero Monumentale, Milan; transferred a month later to the Casa di Riposo, Milan[E6Y]

Um, there aren't any states without prostitutes. Men in North Dakota who want to pay for it can find it.
I am not naive. However, there are places where "services" are more plentiful,robust, and easily accessed, DC being one area very well k n own for this.

How can public humiliation be considered a natural consequence for something that isn't a public 'sin' (for lack of a better word)?
These things go public all the time. We hear about them constantly. Just not usually on such a big scale. When it's the local pastor or teacher or a coworker, your local community talks about it. When it's an actor or a politician, it makes headlines. People talking about your affair is a very natural consequence of having one. It's the consequence of doing anything that most people agree is wrong.

I guess I see your point.
It still sucks for them. I don't think anyone deserves it, whether it's what usually happens or not.

A couple of guys at my brother's place of work are going down for using company credit cards to AM subscriptions.
You can't cure stupid! It does however beg the question, "Is anyone paying attention to what employees do with company issued credit cards?"
Brings to mind the old saying "thinking with your little head instead of your big head." :closedeyes:

Doxing can entail a few things. Mostly it involves publishing personal information about a person on the internet, generally for malicious intent. For example, when the actress Felicia Day spoke out about sexual harassment in the gamer world, something she had personal experience with, it took about 5 mins for her home address and a whole host of other very personal information to be posted across several sites. Other women have have been doxxed and gotten emails from people claiming to be sitting outside their house and describing their children. Why? Because someone didn't agree with them. A good hacker with a bad attitude can find an amazing amount of information about someone by looking across different records etc.
But with something like 'exposing you as a homeschooler' it would be more like (and this is not my opinion, ok?) some minor figure like Bill Maher makes one of his snarky comments about inbred bible thumping homeschoolers whose kids are so stupid we are all better off not having them in the school system. And, hey, they may breed like nymphomaniacial rabbits, but at least they are bone ignorant so the rest of us are safe. Then some fanboy hackers on some sub redit decide that homeschoolers are just the worst. One of them comes across the Rainbow site and thinks its a total hoot. They spend a couple days posting descriptions of some of the more choice anti-evolution or character education offerings and then they get bored and decide to hack (or one of them does...I am not sure this is all that organized) and post whatever information that Rainbow keeps about its customers. Credit card numbers, home addresses, names, phone numbers, email addresses and account passwords. They are telling the sewer dwellers of the internet to have at us.
Even just getting a rainbow account password and an email address can be very damaging. So many people use the same passwords across accounts that getting access to one account almost guarantees access to a host of others. And all they have to do is read your email to find out where else you do business. Now they know where your husband works and who your parents are, where you go to church. How much fun for them. They won't get into everyone's email, but they will get enough to have work with.
You start getting disgusting emails with graphic threats or your facebook gets hacked and disgusting things are sent out under your name. Maybe your husband's place of work also gets hacked. Maybe your church. Maybe your mom suddenly has to spend all her time on the phone because someone has taken out a credit card in her name. These people know where you live and some of them might not be far away. And they seem to have an endless supply of free time. Plus, if you are worried about identity theft now, imagine if you've been doxxed? It will never end and cost you a lot of time and money to deal with.
Now imagine if there are thousands of us dealing with this all at once.
So, you know, off the top of my head, before coffee, that is how it could be bad to be a doxxed homeschooer. I can't imagine how it is going to help the mostly women who are finding out the hard way that their husbands have been paying a whole lot of money to find a f%^& buddy.
This particular group of hackers has said that it has done this from a sense of moral outrage. Ok, I get that. But just how much outrage do they have? Are they dangerous? They have decided they are judge and jury...anyone out there also feeling like executioner? Or blackmailer? On this thread we have heard of one suicide and a number of firings. The hack isn't done yet, there was another major release on, I think Wednesday. What else is to come? Who else is next on their list?
So, it is titliating, and I absolutely admit to some schadenfreude when it comes to outing hypocritical idiots who wrap themselves in the "family values" flag while they spend all their free time reading nasty websites and typing with their left hand. But doxing isn't a joke and as a tactic shouldn't be taken lightly. It is a big deal for anyone. It isn't an issue of 'I'm not doing anything wrong so who cares who sees' but an issue of personal safety.
I can separate the two issues. I am not defending the users of AM in any way. I am just trying to draw attention to realities of this tactic and also express my concerns about the group behind this. All I have heard is that they are Canadian and they don't like adultery. But, what if they announced they were some...I dunno... some Taliban group, or ISIS, or a tool of the Kremlin, trying to point out the hypocrisy of the morally corrupt west. The result would be the same. They aren't, as far as we know, but would that still make this a tabloid story?
Absolutely spot on. It doesn't have to be the government (although it certainly could be, and I worry more about the government because once it's given government sanction, all bets are truly off). But regardless, this kind of information in the hands of people with an agenda... it could end very, very badly for anyone who has an opinion about anything.

Just wanted to say that my husband is in information security, and the basic thought is infosec isn't if you will be hacked, it's when. There is NOTHING you can do to totally prevent it. Nothing. The best you can do is make it not worth the effort, by making it take a long time, or make the data not as interesting, but that doesn't offer a guarantee. But, yes, these companies should be held to certain standards, at the very least. His job is basically trying to convince the heads of a fortune 500 company what needs to be done, and that it is worth the internal hassels and the money to do so. Thankfully, in the last few years that has gotten to be an easier sell because of all the major hacking scandals.
The complete lack of privacy being protected in our society is a serious problem and as long as big money gets to keep their share, they don't seem to care about the data info being hacked, stolen, or misused. And it's all those clients who get screwed by it. It doesn't matter if it's the IRS, your local hospital, or Target. They don't seem to suffer anything for the damage they inflict on their clients by the lack of security. Clients suffer the financial nightmare for years with little or no justice for it. And in the mean time, the average joe in our society really doesn't have much say in where his information goes or what happens to it. And we aren't given much say in whether we even want to give it. Sure in this case those people did, but there's many others where we don't.
I think extremely harsh financial and other legal penalties for failure to have secure sites and to disclose data collection are called for. And I'd be okay with something similiar to the IRS to evaluate and sanction such. The penalties should be so harsh that these companies start investing in some major security efforts to avoid them. The lack of willingness to invest in security is a big problem. They play Russian roulette with client data figuring the cost of security now against a possible cost of PR repair later is very worth it. And currently, it is. We need to change that attitude.

Nope, do not feel sorry for a bunch of cheaters. Not at all. Public humiliation is the natural consequence of their stupidity.
I don't feel sorry for the cheaters but I do feel sorry for the spouses and children that also end up also being publicly humiliated.
I agree, but part of me does feel awful that the women who were cheated on have to have their marriages in the limelight. But better to know than no know. Also, if the men lose their jobs, that effects the women. Although, from what I know of corporate culture, cheating isn't really frowned upon.

I think anyone who engages in an affair is accepting the risk that the affair become known. It's stupid to think otherwise. So yeah, back in the day it may only have become known in the little community surrounding the person, but in this day and age the "community" is now huge and interconnected.
By purposely taking something that belongs within your private marital relationship *outside* of that relationship, you are entering the public realm. JMHO!

I am guessing that this was more of a scam on the part of AM. I am betting that a whole lot of men were catfished into keeping those accounts open on the promise of meeting a real live girl. Now THAT would have been a very worthwhile thing to uncover: take down the owners of AM for perpetuating a fraud. I am not saying these men are not their own victims, far from it.
This is what I was wondering about. Were the hackers upset that there was a site for people who wanted to cheat on their spouse? Or were they upset that AM misrepresented the # of women on the site and the probability that one would actually get to have an affair?
I should have used my area instead. Prostitution is very limited here according to police and FBI statistics. The population base is low and everyone knows everyone else. It makes it very hard to set up a thriving sex trade that is profitable.
The point I was making was that while most of these AM guys may not have had opportunity, there are some areas in which it is very easy to engage in the sex trade.
Oh, I know. I just recently saw a documentary about trafficking in ND, so that's why it stuck out to me. Sad stuff, in any event.

Right. I'm not saying it can be made impossible. Not at all. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. But there is no way it should be so easy. It's nuts how many companies "security" of client data is equivalent to leave a wad of cash in the driver's seat of an unlocked car with the keys. It's gross negligence. Saying something can't ever be 100% prevented doesn't absolve them of the duty to take reasonable preventative measures.
Yes, but from their perspective, is it worse to be cheated on and everyone to know? Or better to be cheated on and even you don't know? Personally, I'd rather know.
And keeping in mind that in this particular case, so many people are on the list that unless your name is Josh Duggar, most people aren't going to even notice. Just another guy (or girl) out of millions.
Ok I'm going to play the devils advocate for a minute here....
So let's say that one of these people - we will say a man, though I know there were legitimately women on the site, too - gets exposed for being on the site.
Let's say his family and friends hear about it and are appalled.
Let's say that his wife chooses to stay by him and work through everything,
I think this being such a huge public thing is bad for this reason. Everyone knows *their* business. People will be urging the wife to leave him/divorce him/whatever, when it's just not their place to have a say in it.
At the same time, is there even proof that these members were active on the site? What if someone signed up in a moment of stupidity - they will now be branded by their acquaintances/friends/family for a long time. Even if they were active, moments of stupidity. I can't just sit here and say that every person who ever does something stupid deserves public humiliation.
This could stick with these people for awhile, at least amongst their social circles.
Maybe people IRL are more forgiving and forgetful than I remember, but the people I've known who had extramarital affairs IRL pretty much live with a huge stigma for years afterward. And I personally don't think that's okay, which is why I say I do feel for all of those involved.

I'm trying to dredge up sympathy for stupid...but I can't.
It's not like all these names have been published on big lists outside our front doors so we can't help but know who of our friends, family and neighbours had an account.
If you've just been ordinary stupid, and signed up with a home email, rather than really stupid, and signed up with a work email, who is going to be looking for your name ? Spouses with suspicions and who else ? Spouses still have the option to deal with what they find publicly or privately, most of the time.
There are millions of names. Besides JD I wouldn't have a clue who any of them were. Most people will not have a clue.
The media reporting I have heard has been very careful not to name names, except when there is an obvious public interest (and, let's face it, click bait ). Too bad, so sad about that.
And frankly, if you don't want to be stigmatised for having an affair, the solution is pretty simple.

It amazes me what people can do and suffer no consequences whatever. People forgive, forget, or never hear about it in the first place because other people are too afraid to tell.
Idk, it's possible that I view this through a very different lens bc I know and love ppl very, very much who have had affairs in the past.
It's not my relationship, but I've seen the fallout from it and it breaks my heart - not just for the people around them hurt by it, but for them, too. Just because I can't understand the situation or how they thought it was an acceptable idea doesn't mean I think they 'deserve' negative public fallout.

Given the lack of consequences to the former SC governor and now senator who disappeared while serving as governor to hook up with his Argentinian mistress, I'm guessing no one will give a crap about small change like a random person with an AM account.
A couple of friends in Virginia have been talking about someone posting the names and addresses of local people with accounts on local FB groups in Fairfax and Alexandria. Not email address, but by billing address. I haven't heard of anything like that local to me.
It'd be difficult as a wife but no, I'd never want my kids to suffer that type of humiliation.
I've seen the fallout also. The secrets are seen as a larger issue then the public fallout.
Pretty much. And anyone who says anything will be advised of being a liberal troll :/

Idk about "deserving" public fallout, but the spouse in the dark certainly deserves to know and for that I'm glad the hackers/revealers did what they did. Now everybody can make decisions in the light, not the least of which is getting tested for and addressing the potential of STIs.


Whether you are interested in improved process control, or doing research and development, understanding your materials starts very often with understanding the powder diffraction pattern.
After identification of all phases present in your sample with Malvern Panalytical's HighScore, this all-in-one software suite with the Plus option continues to support you with your analysis. Whether your focus is on quantification with or without the Rietveld method, profile fitting, or pattern treatment; HighScore Plus is the solution and helps you performing your daily analyses.
We continuously innovate and update the HighScore suite to offer you the most comprehensive user-friendly toolbox for XRD.
HighScore with the Plus option contains four classical indexing routines (Ito, Dicvol, Treor or McMaille). The unit cell refinement includes zero offset or sample displacement. The space group test is performed on either the full profile (Le Bail fit) or on indexed peaks. A Pawley fit to refine lattice parameters is another possibility.
Lattice and structure transformations as well as cell reductions are supported. An automatic standardization of non-standard space group settings is possible while loading such structure data.
The symmetry explorer tool contains the crystal symmetry, point- and Laue group, reflection conditions and special positions of all 230 standard space groups. Additional data covers the about 150 non-standard space groups used in the ICSD structure database.
HighScore with the Plus option makes large volume data processing fast and easy.
Cluster analysis automatically sorts all scans of an experiment into closely related clusters and marks the most representative scan of each cluster, as well as outliers. This is useful for non-ambient experiments, mining samples and soil mapping, high-throughput screening campaigns and for monitoring the uniformity of industrial products.
A principal components analysis (PCA) helps to visualize the mathematically determined clusters. It shows confidence areas around each cluster.
The visual comparison of all scans in a cluster is possible as well as the distribution of clusters (on a measuring grid, on a well plate) is shown.
With the 3D structure plotting functionality, you can choose the colors of atoms, polyhedral viewing, and shift, turn, roll and zoom the structure in order to obtain the best view.
HighScore with the Plus option supports the charge flipping algorithm and difference Fourier plots for determination of the crystal structure from powder diffraction data.
HighScore with the Plus option has many advantages for Rietveld refinements.
Automatic strategies and batches support the novice user to perform quantitative phase analysis, including the determination of an amorphous component. The refinement control displays a complete picture of all parameters, limits and constraints involved.
Range checking and automatic or manual constraints ensure the stability and reproducibility of the refinements. No parameter turn-on sequence is required, the proprietary solver takes care of this.
Three profile functions including a true Voigt function are supported, which is especially important for crystallite size-microstrain determinations. Le Bail fits are possible and hkl-phase fits support the inclusion of unknown structure phases. The 'superflip' algorithm by L. Palatinus is included to solve crystal structures from high-quality powder data.
HighScore Plus supports the simultaneous use of multiple reference databases. You can search through inorganic and organic databases in one go. All types of reference databases, from actual to legacy, from premium-quality ICDD products over mid-priced solutions to free downloadable databases are supported. HighScore Plus is designed for the Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) operating systems.
A super VGA monitor (17 inch or more) with a desktop area of 1024*768 pixel. Multiple monitors within the HighScore application are supported.
Multiple monitors within the HighScore application are supported.
Version 4.7, running under all versions of Microsoft Windows from 7 to Windows 10.

First-Day-of-School Preparations Should Include Routine Immunization
Families across the United States are sending their young children back to school. School preparations are not limited to buying school supplies. Parents should make sure their children are up-to-date with vaccinations.
Immunization requirements vary from state to state, but vaccination's benefits to public health are evident across the country. Vaccines are often heralded as one of the greatest health interventions in modern history, credited with saving 732,000 lives and preventing 21 million hospitalizations among children born in the United States since the mid-1990s. Globally, their impact extends even further, with a recent study estimating that childhood vaccination saves up to 3 million lives every year.
In many ways, schools are an ideal environment for the spread of infectious disease. Classrooms and playgrounds, full of shared materials and spaces, provide ample opportunity for bacteria and viruses from an infected individual to travel among other students and teachers. These pathogens can be particularly harmful for individuals like young children who have not been exposed to them before. To avert serious illness, the U.S. Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention recommends that young children get vaccinated against eight infectious diseases before their first day of school: polio, varicella (chicken pox), diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, mumps and rubella. Parents can safely protect their children against all of these diseases by getting the latest recommended dose of just four vaccines in an annual check-up. The CDC recommends that children receive the final dose of the following vaccines between the ages of four and six.
Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV). Most parents today are not worried about polio, but the crippling and potentially fatal disease was one of the biggest health threats to children in the United States as recently as the 1970s. Before the vaccine discoveries of Albert Sabin and Jonas Salk, polio was responsible for more than 15,000 cases of paralysis in the United States annually. Thanks to widespread vaccination efforts, however, no polio cases have originated domestically since 1979, and there were only 37 known cases worldwide in 2016. But in today's globalized society, disease anywhere can be a threat everywhere. The best way to protect children in the United States against the devastating effects of polio is to ensure they receive all four doses of the IPV, the fourth of which should be administered between their fourth and sixth birthdays, right around the age when children begin attending school.
Varicella vaccine. Varicella, commonly known as chickenpox, is a highly contagious childhood disease known for its ubiquitous blister-like rash. Though most cases of chickenpox are limited to fever and itchy blisters, the varicella virus can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women, the elderly and individuals with weakened immune systems. The two doses of the varicella vaccine, first licensed for use in the United States in 1995, are credited with averting more than 3.5 million cases of chickenpox, 9,000 hospitalizations and 100 deaths annually in the United States. The CDC recommends children receive the first dose between 12 and 15 months of age, and the second dose between children's fourth and sixth birthdays.
Diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine. Protection against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis are all conferred through the DTaP vaccine. Though these disease names are less familiar to most parents than polio or chickenpox, they can led to debilitating symptoms such as lock jaw, pneumonia, seizures, paralysis and brain damage. In the most serious cases, all three diseases can be fatal. Widespread DTaP vaccination efforts led to the elimination of diphtheria in the United States in 2012 and have significantly reduced the morbidity rates of tetanus and pertussis, but, like many other infectious diseases, they can quickly spread if vaccine coverage rates decline just a few percentage points. Children should receive the fifth and final dose of the DTaP vaccine between four and six years of age. For adolescents over the age of 11 and adults, protection is conferred through a booster shot known as Tdap.
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine. Protection against several diseases is similarly provided by two doses of the MMR vaccine, the second of which is recommended between ages four and six. Measles, mumps and rubella are highly contagious, airborne diseases that can cause symptoms ranging from rashes and fevers to respiratory infections and brain damage. Tragically, even though the MMR vaccine is highly effective at preventing the viral diseases, there have been several outbreaks of measles and mumps in recent years due to low MMR vaccination rates. When there is broad uptake of the MMR vaccine, however, these dangerous outbreaks can be prevented. Thanks in part to vaccination, there has been more than a 99 percent decline in morbidity of all three diseases in the United States within the past century.
At a time when infectious diseases are no longer the major killers in communities across the country, it can be easy for parents to overlook the importance of early childhood immunization. But the reality is that diseases like polio, diphtheria, rubella and many others are unfamiliar threats to Americans because of broad vaccine uptake. If parents refuse their children's recommended immunization schedules, not only are they putting their own children at risk of illness and medical interventions in the future, but also they are endangering the lives of individuals who might not be able to get vaccinated. Incorporating routine immunizations into children's first-day-of-school preparations is one of the best ways to promote public health and help young children stay healthy enough to enjoy the benefits of education.
