Jessica Fitchel from Vancouver, Washington has a 5-year-old son who was suffering from acute blastic leukemia. There are chances that this disease may become more dangerous and therefore the boy spends most of the time detained in their home. His parents are in constant fear that he may have measles if they let him go out.

Kai was indentified with an uncommon type of blood cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow and has been in treatment for over half his young life. Kai’s parents tried their best to keep his life as normal as possible, but the sudden eruption of measles in Clark County, Washington, had made their son’s already insecure life more terrifying.

Late in January 2019, Washington governor Jay Inslee announced public emergency. In Clark County itself there were 34 confirmed cases of measles and nine suspicious cases. Out of those, 30 people had not been vaccinated and four had not been verified as having been vaccinated. In no time the number of such cases increased to 70 confirmed cases of measles. Amongst these 61 were not immunized and 7 were unverified. It was shocking to know that there was a huge involvement of kids under 10 years old with 15 cases involving kids ages 11 to 18.

As a consequence of Kai’s cancer diagnosis, he is only partially vaccinated. His doctors informed his parents that Kai wouldn’t be able to have his last shot unless his chemotherapy treatment ends.

Fletchel told that Kai doesn’t know much about whats going on with him. They did a good job in sheltering hard but it’s not been that easy. She also told that they didn’t allow Kai to go to school the whole January for the fear of being infected from another child.

In a post of Facebook, Fletchel requested people to vaccinate their kids. She herself had gone through this unfortunate event and that’s why know the pain of it. She didn’t want any other kids to suffer because of their parents decision to not to vaccinate and so it was necessary for her to make people aware about this situation. She was brave enough to come out and warn everyone.
