Anti-vax bus comes to Tacoma.

TACOMA, Wash. – The number of mumps cases reported this year in Washington state outpaces totals from years past.

State health officials said one possible factor could be parents who haven’t gotten their children vaccinated.

Nearly 5 percent of kindergartners in Washington weren’t immunized for the 2016-2017 school year because of personal beliefs or medical reasons — that’s more than double the national average of 2 percent, according to the Washington State Department of Health.

But there is a group visiting our state who says this may not be a bad thing. Producers for a documentary called "Vaxxed" brought their tour bus to Tacoma`s Franklin Park to speak with parents who worry their kids were injured from vaccinations.
