Those numbers also obscure big differences in vaccination rates from one zip code to another, from as low as 19 percent in one community in northern Los Angeles County to as high as 99 percent in Watsonville, a farm town in Santa Cruz County.”
Wow! 19% vaccination rate? Why wouldn't they name that town? Does anyone know the name of that town?
The text was from this Wired article but I didn’t see that exact town.

But this LATimes article points out clusters of measles vaccination rates at schools under 50% and names names. Many clusters are in SoCal which is why I make the connection to Disneyland.

“Among kindergartners, schools with high medical exemptions rates tend to be Waldorf schools, which [color=var(--primaryBodyLinkColor)]have come under scrutiny in California for their relatively low vaccination rates. Waldorf Schools practice a holistic approach to learning and are based on the philosophy of Austrian thinker Rudolf Steiner, who was critical of many aspects of medicine during his era, the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[/color]
Hannah Henry said she pulled her three children from a Waldorf school in Napa four years ago because the vaccination rate was below 50%.”
