I was concerned about the no vaccines personally and worried about any possible exposures.
Do you think I would be putting the new infant in may in any possible danger?
No.
The viruses and bacteria that cause those diseases are not just floating around in the air and present on every surface waiting for an unvaccinated person to wander by in order to infect them and make them sick...that's not how it works. The chance of the unvax child bringing in a vaccine preventable disease is so negligible as to be pretty much completely unmentionable.
