Upcoming vaccines and I'm nervous

[Guest guest]

My 2 yoa NT kid is due for more vaccines. I have been giving her

some little by little. We have separated out the MMR vaccine. She is

due for Rubella and DPT now.

I keep putting off the appointment. I'm still nervous. I have spaced

out her vaccines since she was 12 months. Like she got Mumps and Hib

about 2-3 months ago. My ped is giving her and the rest of kids

thimersol free vaccines but I'm am still nervous.

We have planed to give her Measles shot in another 2-3 months. We

beleive she has a milk allergy like ( my affected daughter)

so it makes me extra nervous.

What have other people done. I have to get her to do them because

she is in daycare.

Two is such a sensitive age.

Thanks

Almost every state has religious and/or philosophical exemptions.

You can refuse vaccines and get your children in school and in

daycare. Email me off-list if you want more information.

I do not trust there is no link between autism and vaccines.

However, I think it is great that if you are going to immunize, that

you are smart enough to get the ones without mercury! And that you

delayed!

Our pediatrician is pressuring us to get the Chicken Pox vaccine

(, 4 years old, had all others prior to diagnosis) and I'm

nervous too. Anyone have experience with the Varivax?

Hi andria,

chicken pox. Sooooo harmless.... Please don't.

I'm not decidedly pro or against vaccines, but your comment was not

accurate. Children can have many complications associated with having

chicken pox, and in some rare cases it can be life threatening. Also,

you don't have permanent immunity from the virus. After getting chicken

pox, the virus lays dormant in your nervous system and decades later can

reoccur as shingles which is incredibly painful. If it happens late in

life (after age 60) the pain may never go away. I don't know if the

vaccine will prevent you from getting shingles as not enough time has

passed to know for sure, but the woman asking about the vaccine should

look into getting full information before making a choice. I would

suggest going to http://www.google.com/ and enter " chicken pox vaccine "

(in quotes) in the search box.

My best friend who is very pro-vaccines, and whose kids are all in

school, had all of her kids vaccinated with the chicken pox vaccine

and her 8 year old son just got over HAVING them...and it WAS NOT a

mild case!

My sons, who are homeschooled, both caught the " pox " naturally, and

now they have immunity. Chicken pox recently blew thru my homeschool

group's kids too. So far, no real problems (although I am very aware

that there can be).

Anyway, at least when you catch them, if it is a normal case, you will

not get them again. I have heard (but only heard...not witnessed)

that some kids, if they got a really mild case...like 10 or less

spots...sometimes might catch them again.

So, there you go. Getting the shot is not a guarantee of immunity.

Let me preface this with my belief you have a right to your opinion!

>Many MANY children as well as

> adults became either disabled or worse, died, from the diseases

>that we are

> vaccinating against.

Children have been killed because of vaccines. And many cases of

severe injuries including permanent brain injuries have resulted from

these 'safe' vaccines as well. That is the risk I am not willing to

take. I am not convinced my first son was not injured by the number

of mercury containing vaccines he received. And autism is only one

of many auto-immune disurders that are on the increase.

In the UK where parents started avoiding the MMR a bit

children

Please cite your source for this information. I have not heard of

children dying. I am not saying you are wrong, but I want to read

about.

I have heard about outbreaks among adults who were immunized as

children (in Japan). Vaccine immunity wears off. People 'need' two

doses of the vaccine, so many adults are unprotected.

Thanks!

>Are you willing to

> take the risk?

Absolutey!!!!! Do you know how many thousands of diseases and

viruses my son could get? I focus on building a strong immune system.
