Re: Childhood Immunizations

[Guest guest]

The government can't make you give a shot to your

child. All you do is sign a waver and they can still attend public school.

Its a parents decision. In my family I only do a few

vaccines now. Anything that can't be cured by antibi

otics. With the exception of hepatitis and chicken pox.

I won't give my children that series of shots. After I

found out that the hepatitis is only good for around

10 years used to have mercury in it and only protected

against sexually transmitted and blood to blood

hepatitis I decided that a 1 year old could do without

it. I feel that getting the chicken pox is harmless for

my kids. I want them to get the virus that is good for

a life time of protection but the chicken pox shot

protection may wear off after time.

Aw but you would if the older child had a bad reaction.
