ladies,
this is a can of worms. What are your feelings about vaccinations?
I am trying to find good informations. The fors and againsts are all so vehement it's hard to know what the middle line is.
Baby is 2/3 though her heb b shots, but now doc is asking me to do the 5 in 1. Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus, Pertuitus (I think)...... need to research some more.... I believe that good nutrition/ hygiene is far more important than the vaccines and am worried about hte autism / immune system disfunction links. My sister's son is autistic. Our family's kids all have major allergy issues....
They were asking me to do the TB one, but it only protects against extra pulmonary TB which is rare anyway.... and TB is an opportunistic disease generally...
Maybe I can delay until before she's ready to go to kindy (I think in Japan they delay vaccinations til then).... she's low risk here at home now and not going out AND she's completely breastfed which provides protection.... and I'm concerned that the risks of vaccines are high in an immature immune system.
Any good links to more balanced info?
