@NorthernInvader scarlet fever is not vaccine preventable. There has been an increase of strept throat and left untreated can lead to scarlet fever.
@Lavanilla yes but RSV, seasonal flu, COVID all have vaccines and those diseases lower immunity to other viruses and bacteria. There has been a significant increase in vaccine avoidance and thus an increase in this lower immunity to all infections.
