I have done extensive research on these vacines and they are pretty scary!Live viruses mixed in MURCURY as a preservative cultured in dead animals and aborted fetuses with major side effects.All of the diseases proclaimed to be warded off by these vacines are very treatable should the child get sick.When i was vacinated as achild I almost died from a major asthma atack,my sister got blood poisoning,she recently had a flu shot and it sent her into a coma for a week and it killed my grandpa as well.No they are not mandatory at the hospitol or any other time.You can get a waiver to send the child to school.Talked to a veteran lately and how he's doing since getting his mandatory vacines?????Sorry,I wanted to hear from parents who have not vacinated their children.

As long as the child will not be in daycare you can wait. My brother did not get his first shots until he was nine months old because of some mild nerve damage and did not get sick at all during those nine months. Today he is a health 21 yr old. Understand on someone that small, all of those vaccines are an extreme shock to the delicate systems of a baby. Caution is warranted. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's right for you, and if you have any doubts then you should listen to that voice and wait. However if vaccines were that important why aren't we required to get booster shots as adults? Shots only last 5 to 10 years, if that. Do more research. Here is a great place to start. http://www.drcarley.com/

Good for you. With your family history, the only responsible thing for you to do is to do delayed/selective vaccinations. Do not worry about people who havn't done the research you have, and/o have had a need to question the saftey of vaccines for their children. Yes, for most people vacs are okay, but not for everybody. The govt. will tell you the same thing. That is why there is a fund set up specifically for children who suffer neurological damage from vaccines. Family history of reactions, or autoimmune disorders are a red flag to be concerned. Just to let you know, I had whooping cough as a child, and I WAS vaccinated. And i'm just fine. Its not "on the rise" because people arn't vaccinating, its on the rise because vaccines aren't 100% effective. I hate it when people say things like that. Anyway, I'm sorry only a few people have actually answered your question... I just wanted to say I am glad you are doing your homework, and not to let people who HAVEN'T get you down.

First of all, don't vaccinate just because some people try to peer pressure you into it. A lot of people wait at least a few months -- usually until breastfeeding ends -- to get their kids shots and a lot of people also never get them period. Yes your kid can still go to school one day -- many people don't vaccinate due to religious reasons and are perfectly fine.
My first child was vaccinated completely on schedule with all possible shots and she still got mumps(!) and chicken pox twice (even though we were told that couldn't happen). Now with my newborn, we are delaying vaccs and selectively immunizing.
And conventional wisdom changes all the time. Right now the links between autism and shots have yet to be proven, but drug companies have changed the formulas of some shots since 1991, before then mercury was in many vaccs. Remember, it profits drug companies for the public to blindly take whatever drugs they say without question. And, by the way, many dieases (whooping cough, ruebella) that are supposed to be cured by vaccs have been breaking out at schools and colleges across the U.S. -- in people that did have their shots!

no vacs, no problems. also, redefine "major problems/illnesses" because some of these things they're vaccinating against aren't major (chickenpox...)
a good place to start researching is www.mothering.com they have tons of articles on vaccinating (from all perspecives)
Funny how the daycare provider above said these kids were getting the illnesses, but never mentioned one dying. whooping cough is easily treated with antibiotics in a healthy child.
Also, the research they quote in the chickenpox vaccine ad (100 children die per year) is BS. the kids who died were all being treated with antibiotics (further weakening the immune system and totally ineffective with a virus) and actually died from secondary infections they would not have had if the pox had been allowed to run their course.

My sister selectively vaccinated and no problems...her children are 10 and 8. I agree with delaying vaccines at the very least. My daughter was born in 1995 and my son in 1998. In those three years the number of shots my son was subjected to was nearly twice the amount his sister had to have....He was 1 before i decided to wait the rest out...i resumed the shot schedule again at 3 1/2. In that time no, no serious illnesses. I only finished up the vaccines because here in NY its a LOT of effort to send an un-vaccinated child to public school.
Its important to know what these diseases really are...Rubella is measles....not very dangerous, Pertusis is 'Whooping cough' while it can be dangerous, a vaccinated child can still get it. Hepatitis? that takes close intimate contact with the blood, urine or feces of an infected person...how likely is that to happen with a small child? Hospital workers NEED that vaccine....a newborn does not! It pays to do the research and do what your comfortable with, and this is something I think all of us parents should be very careful with.

i have 2 completely unvaccinated children and 1 99% un vaccinated...all happy and healthy and haven't had any illnesses.
i allowed a couple vaccines to be given to my first child after a Dr. pressured me and he had a nasty fever and as very sick and wasn't the same baby after wards after that i swore I'd never allow another vaccine... since then I've gotten to know a lot of other families who share the same beliefs about vaccines and choose not to vaccinate and all the children are healthy, and yes a few of them did come down with illnesses that are vaccinated against, but so have completely vaccinated children I've known...
me and my sister being completely vaccinated came down will all sorts of junk whooping cough, measles, mumps, chicken pox ( i got pox 4 times)... as for toopregnant's beliefes on how vaccines cause her child to be "less sick" she obviously is either in denial of the vaccines failure or completely ignorant to how a vaccine is to supposed work. they don't prevent your child from becoming really really sick...and studies now show for vaccines like the flu shot your chances of getting the flu the next seasons are Greatly increased in compaired to those who choose to never get the flu shot. O and fyi while mecury has been removed from some shots it is still in the flu vac.
studies are now showing that when outbreaks of illness that are vaccinated occur the percentage of vaccinated and unvaccinated children who become sick are the same.
do your research...trust your instincts..and don't allow the unlearned mass to push you in a direction u'll regret
heres a great video on the subject http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8610554679207090010&q=Vaccination+-+The+Hidden+Truth

Working in child careI have taken care of several children, whose parents chose not to vaccinate them. Every single one of those children came down with a vaccine preventable sickness. Whopping cough, mumps, measles and so on. Most of thse children were under age five.Those children were sick and misrable for for weeks some ended up in the hospital. The children had the viruses before they started showing obvious symptoms, thus putting all employees, children, and anyone one else who entered the center at risk. What if those people had yet to be vacinated? or maybe had the vacinations so long ago they had become less effective?There were babies still to young to be vacinated at the center, no these infants were not exposed directly to the older children, but there were employees who workes with both groups, as well as many older siblings of the babies who would come with their parents to pick them up. Not one single child in all the years I have workeds there has ever gotton a vaccine preventable disease. Your child may not be going to day care, but chances are he/she will be exposed to other children and adults.

Talk to your ped. There is no mercury in pediatric vaccinations. Hasn't been for awhile. Better to vaccinate than to end up with a child with polio or another preventable illness.

Ok first dont let anyone make you feel like you have to do anything that you arnt comfortable doing, if you arnt sure about vaccinating your child read up and make an informed decision! I'm not saying do it and I'm not saying not to , but i have seen children that have had reactions to their vaccines , and the ones that are saying the risk of not vaccinating out waying the risk of vaccinating must not have seen some reactions, they can have serious side effects and by serious side effects i dont mean fever, vomiting etc..... i mean brain damage, death etc..... ive seen it happen, it may not be all that common but its not impossible!

I was never vaccinated because my family didn’t believe in them. I have never had a tetanus shot. I am now 40. I have no problems.
