They can be very good or very bad. I have suffered from a life-long heart condition, severe dizziness/nausea from noise, brain swelling, and some debilitating sensory issues (again, the main one being that I can't go to church or listen to even acoustic music because I get really sick from it)-- all from vaccinations. I've known people PERSONALLY who developed seizure disorders, autism/aspergers, or ADD/ADHD that started immediately (same day) as they got their vaccination. They put some pretty nasty preservatives in most of the shots, even mercury in a few!
On the other hand, they have helped to eliminate deadly diseases from the country. On a side note, though, if it's the flu shot you're thinking about getting you're still pretty likely to get it, possibly even from the shot itself!
Please trust your instinct. Don't let a doctor push you to make a decision one way or another. My personal advice to you would be to take vaccinations one at a time and give yourself about a month in between each injection... that will give your body time to process it without being barraged with junk at once. Also, you should know that you don't have to take every shot if you're just doing it for your own health and safety. If you want to go to college or work certain jobs, however, you'll need to either get them all or get a religious waiver notarized. The exception would be if you've had a bad reaction to vaccinations or a certain vaccination, in which case I'm almost positive you only need an official doctor's note saying that more vaccinations or more of that one vaccination would be detrimental to your health.
Also, if it is a baby, you should be aware that because a baby's body is very fragile, giving 1 shot to a baby is like giving 30 shots at once to an adult! Yikes. Just follow your instinct and pick and choose vaccinations according to what your gut tells you you need. Our instincts are better than we give them credit for.
EDIT: one more thing: you're actually not risking all that much these days if you don't get vaccinated, because everyone else has been and so the disease generally isn't passed around. There are exceptions, obviously, but for the most part you're not endangering yourself unless you go out of the country, and you're definitely not endangering 99% of the people in the US or Canada.
EDIT II: try to get individual shots of things like MMR and DPT whenever possible. it takes longer and may be a pain in the ***, but you're significantly less likely to get as sick if you do have a reaction.

they are good. you'd be risking way more by not having them. the so called links with physical or mental problems is all piss in the wind - none of it is proven, its all hypothetical. its much better to arm yourself against disease than risk getting something potentially fatal.
