(ydr.com) — West York Area Middle and High School both rank among York County’s leaders for measles, mumps and rubella vaccination rates, giving local families strong classroom protection as cases rise regionally. A new state spreadsheet now lets you compare MMR and exemption rates for every York County school in kindergarten, seventh and 12th grades, helping parents gauge herd immunity and make informed health decisions.
