Off the Subject- Immunizations

[Guest guest]

I am having a really tough time deciding if I am going to continue

having my son immunized. He has had up to his 1 year shots. He has

not received the MMR yet. My concern is its (immunizations,

particularly the MMR) possible relation to autism.

As a former Preschool Director, my knowledge... articles, seminars,

communication with dr.s and special needs panels, etc.. were all

leaning towards no relation between autism and immunizations.

However, when it comes to my son and many recent correlations between

the two- I am stuck.

I have read testimonies from parents stating their beliefs are that

the MMR vaccine caused autism (or forms of autism) in their small

children. I have also heard that with relation to the Chicken Pox

vaccine, as it's life on the market is about 10 years which

corresponds to the recent rise in autism in the last decade.

I guess I am just looking for opinions.

Any one with similar experiences to what I have expressed.

Thanks,

Stacie
