Re: Preemie vaccination (Forgot to add this Steph)

[Guest guest]

Don't forget to tell your brother to check out the dosing

instructions on the package inserts too. He will find that the

medical staff is recommending his 3 lb baby be injected with vaccines

at a dose of .5 ml. They give this same dose from 6 weeks of age - 7

years of age!! That is just one example of how insane the medical

community has become. It is all about the money.
