Thank God for Vaccines!!!

[Guest guest]

Well, all I have to say is thank God for vaccines. My children

would probably be dead if they were not immunized.

Both of my daughters almost died of RSV (I wish there was a vaccine

for RSV).

Whooping cough is even more serious than RSV. My daughter's doctors

told me that whooping cough use to be very prevalent, and my

daughters will die if they catch it. Whooping cough is making a

comeback in this country because people are not immunizing their

children. Some immunizations don't take, so you want everyone to be

immunized so that there is not an outbreak. My doctor's told me to

definitely vaccinate my daughters. The risk from the vaccines is

minimal, and the potential of the vaccine is so great.

I'm also greatful for the chickenpox vaccine. My daughters now have

asthma and are routinely put on steroids to help eliminate their

asthma attacks. If my daughters caught chickenpox while on the

steroids, chickenpox can be deadly.

Thank God we live in a time where we are not worried about dying

from awful diseases like whooping cough or becoming crippled from

polio.

I'm looking forward to my children getting the smallpox vaccine when

it becomes available. Just think how horrible if we have a terroist

attack with smallpox. How many of our children would die?
