Shots

Ok... What is everyone's views on shots? Some people say to wait for certain shots due to the rise in autism and some dr.'s do not agree.... What do you think?

I plan on having my sons shots done on schedule.  I am finishing my doctorate in psychology right now and it was just recently proven that the original report and doctor that linked shots to autism falsified his report.

We did them on schedule for our 2 year old who was a preemie. We plan to do the same for this one.  There is a lot of info out there to support this too.

I'm going to have the vaccinations according to the doctor's schedule, too. I've done a lot of research on this and the potential connection to autism, and I've never been able to find anything that really convinced me that there was a direct connection. I know there's always the theory that the evil  pharmeceutical companies are in bed with the doctors and so that's why they want children to have so many shots, but I personally think the repercussions of not having vaccinations are worse.

I had my daughter vaccinated according to the normal schedule, she is 2.5 months and healthy. I know that people like to link vaccines to autism but I have never been fully on board with this theory.

Well I do have a child with autism and I do still vaccinate him and my other child and will with this one too. My autistic child usually has his done on a slightly different schedule but mostly due to the fact he has a very poor immune system.

Ive had my 1st kept up 2 date on vaccinations and plan to do the same for #2.... Just like any other medications effects each person differently same goes for baby.... What causes an issue in one child might not do the same for another personally i believe statistically vaccines help more children than they hurt...
