Elvendork- thank you. Also I wasn't blaming vaccines for my child's autism. I did say "I've heard" people claim vaccines give children autism. But I do not in any way blame vaccines. Just speaking from life experience. I am very pro vaccines and if it was the cause or not for my child's autism I still think its the right choice cus autism won't kill him but a disease probably will.
Ruby31 I don't know if you've ever heard of the comedians/ talk show people Penn and Teller... They actually have a very funny (and accurate) skit about the topic, although its certainly not for anyone who doesn't have a sense of humor. You could probably find it on YouTube if you check
I'm very pro vaccines....I feel like we are lucky to be able to provide and offer vaccines to our children to protect them from deadly diseases, so why shouldn't we. There are so many countries that can not provide vaccines and millions of children die because of it. I know studies have been done showing there are some risks to certain vaccines, but I also know there is a much larger risk not vaccinating a child.
Some shots are selective but I believe in giving the children every chance at life possible. Children have recently been passing away from ailments WE overcame generations ago due to lack of preventative medicine or another families lack of getting their child vaccinated. Why are we losing our babies to whopping cough & measles in 2014....
CountryMomToBe also remember you aren't locked in to a schedule. Many parents will choose to split for the first set just to see how baby reacts and if they are fine they'll do them all together the next time. Its all what you are comfortable with.
A friend explained it to me this way... Do you believe in vaccinating your pets?? If you vaccinate your pets and give them medication to prevent deseases why wouldn't you vaccinate your children?!?
