Re: Safe Vaccines? ... advice for friend with newborn baby /PracticalPixie

[Guest guest]

PracticalPixie,

Not too sure what you are upset about, but my questioning your idea

of titers was simply a question to figure out if you had

misunderstood the age of the child in question. If you had

said, " No, I meant for the infant " than I would have been interested

in why... that's all. I thought perhaps you knew something I didn't.

I DO have a question to ask about titers on a newborn (really): is

it possible for a newborn to have immunity to any of these

vaccinable diseases? An immunity that will last past the first few

months?
