One area is in northeastern Sacramento County, the second is in Roseville, and the third is a small pocket south of Sacramento.

The study was published on Monday in the Journal of Pediatrics.

The rates of unvaccinated children in those areas range from a high of 13.5 percent in the area south of Sacramento to 5.5 percent in the other two areas.
