Re: Vaccination Coming Up..Please Help!

[Guest guest]

I have been reading all of the vaccination posts and I am a little worried. My

son will be 5 years old in a month and will be getting 2 booster shots at his

well-care\Pre-Kindergarten checkup. They are the DTP and MMR.

What should I ask the Pediatrician before I let him administer these? Is there

something I should be looking for on the bottle, like a date that makes them

safe from Mercury or whatever?

Any and all responses are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Liz,

From what I understand the MMR shot comes to the doctor in powder form, it needs

to be mixed then used promptly. My pediatrician feels that IF the MMR shot is

responsible for problems it is probably due to it not being " fresh " enough. The

reason it comes in powder form is because as soon as it is mixed it begins to

'breakdown'. That at least is the gist of what I was told, perhaps a nurse or

dr. in this group could shed some more light on this.

I have friends who work as assistants in various pedo offices. They tell me

often that doctors will use vaccines that are cloudy (should be clear) or have

expired recently. I personally ask my pediatrician to draw the shots in front

of me and to see the bottle it came from. I also ask to see the certification

of anyone who administers or draws the shots. (my girlfriend gives vaccines in

her pedo office, the doctor taught her how --- no certification or class ever

taken) They look at me weird but they do it. It makes me feel better to know

the vaccine wasn't expired, the technician or assistant is qualified and by

being a concerned parent I figure they will be extra careful with my little one.

Good luck, ask lots of questions. I work in the dental field and patients that

are concerned and ask questions in our office are very rare but welcome. And

when a patient shows signs of being concerned we make sure from that point

forward that everything is clear for that patient, we even have obtained

literature and other materials for patients to help them feel at ease with

whatever procedure they are having done.

I wanted to put my two cents in, I found at the CDC website a ton of

information about the correlation between autism and mmr vaccines,

their site is www.cdc.gov and I typed autism vaccine into the search

on the site, got a pile of stuff, including explanations of the

studies done so far in various countries and the CDC's take on it.

For any Canadians, a lot less info but nevertheless here is the

Canadian Pediatrics Association site (I could only find any info in

the professionals area) www.cps.ca . I talked to the Simcoe County

District Health Unit this afternoon, they told me that the product

labels for the vaccines given here do not list mercury. They do list

an antibiotic to prevent corruption of the vaccine. (omitted to

write down the name.) Confirming this with your medical professional

for Canadians anyway may be reassuring as mercury seems to be the

main concern.

This may be an unpopular point of view but I would like to say that

my personal feeling on it is that until I know there is a

correlation, I am vaccinating my children - I would rather have them

alive and afflicted than dead from something preventable like mumps

or measles.

hi liz... you should definitely take precautions with

the vaccinations...they all shoud be

thimerosal(mercury) free...if possible consider giving

each vaccination one at a time and span them out over

several months...i've also read that giving vitamins

a & c may help protect against adverse reactions...

have you checked mmr vaccine titers ( antibody

levels)?...you know your child more than anyone, so if

you are not ready to give the vaccinations, don't...be

prepared ...good luck...joann (j.c. NJ)
