Childhood vaccinations was: Vaccinations - it's benefits (if any) & how much is it better/safer since 2

January 20, 2008

Thanks ,

This is a very helpful chart.

I'd love to go completely no-vaccinations with my baby, but I can't

see Daddy going along with that (we've had a few discussions already).

It looks like I'm making headway in my no Hepatitis B at 1 day old

case, but deferring it until the teens might be difficult as some

school districts actually require it now. (For those not aware, Hep B

is blood borne - it was not required for my generation unless you

decided to go into the medical field. There is some sense in giving

it to babies whose mothers are Hep B positive, but I was tested and

came up negative.)

Now I'm working on getting him used to the idea of not using combo

vaccinations - MMR as M, M and R separately, same with DTaP. Has

anyone seen a vaccination schedule like that? I haven't had any

luck googling one up.

Also, does anyone have any precise info on immunity being transferred

through breast milk? I titered very high for MMR (likely due to

having 4 shots instead of 3 because they lost my records and wern't

going to let me go to school if I didn't get another) and I was

wondering if there is any proof that this immunity would be passed on

effectively.
