I agree but wanted to point out:
Vaccines in the 70's were linked to causing autism because of the mercury in the needles-we use stainless steel now so it's a non-issue.
HOWEVER, parents should be aware to NEVER vaccinate your child when they are sick-with any infection or virus because the risk of a reaction or other issue is amplified dramatically.
I refuse the flu shot, new HPV vaccine and the HEP B until my children are over a year. We didn't get the new nasal vacine either for the "new flu" I don't think anything that was created in a paniced crisis and hasn't even been tested more than 3 months is safe.
Personally the risk of getting these disses is worse than the risk of a reaction to the vaccine. We eat out a lot-Hep B is prevalent is some communities more than others-especially in those of illegal immigrant works-many of which work in the kitchens of restaurants we eat in-so we do that one to.
Plus in CA it's required for children to play public sports, attend public schools and our private school it was in the contract-silly the only kids who get sick are those not vaccinate or those who might have a rare chance of failure vaccine failure.
My pediatrician give single vacs-not the combos most use. We also don't follow the normal protocol we wait until my children are a bit older for the shots and we NEVER vaccinate unless they are well-no live strains are ever used on my kids-that's also important.
I'm a picky mom for both skin and fur kids.
My dogs are NOT fully vaccinated. Rabies is legally required, we are in current compliance with it.
