Related: About this forumUnvaccinated Oregon boy, 6, nearly dies of tetanus, racks up $1 million in bills.
After he survived his parents refused to get him the second dose of the tetanus vaccine!By Molly Harbarger | The Oregonian/OregonLive
A 6-year-old boy spent about eight weeks in the hospital -- much of it in a dark room. His parents face nearly $1 million in medical bills. He suffered excruciating pain and lost control of his body as the first case of tetanus in Oregon in about 30 years.
The disease is preventable by taking a vaccine, but the child wasnt vaccinated. Nor is he still.
