Which vaccines if any do you do?

[Guest guest]

I'm just wondering for those parents who chose to do minimal vaccines

which ones did you decide on and why? Also, are there certain vaccines

that are considered more dangerous than others?

I have an almost 4 month old son and we did not vaccinate at 2 months,

but I'm still torn as to whether we will do any at some point. The

ones I know we won't be doing at all are Chickenpox, Flu and MMR, but

the ones I am considering are DTaP (would be just for pertussis, but

doc said they don't have pertussis alone) and HIB. Mostly because my

pediatrician has me a little scared about these illnesses, but at the

same time I don't entirely believe vaccines work.

In regards to the pertussis my understanding is it is most dangerous to

infants under 6 months old so since we are almost there I'm starting to

think I won't bother, but HIB is supposedly dangerous only for children

under 5. I can't seem to find local statistics about this disease

though.

My little guys 4 month checkup is next week so I'm hoping to have made

up my mind about what we plan to do by that point, so I won't have to

have the vaccine discussion at each appointment.

Thanks for any info you can share.

We don't do any vaccines either.  The scare tactics by doctors disturb me.  My

two just recovered fron pertussis, and they are perfectly fine, geez, it was no

big deal at all!!!!  I discovered that the pertussis vaccine wears off in 10

years.  Now my children have a lifelong natural immunity.

 

Good luck with your decision.

I heard a person can get pertussis or measles a few times not just

one. It's related to body's toxicity level. If needed, body will go

through measles a few times before the disease clears out the

disturbance.> It's a theory i read about, not sure how true it is.
