I've been researching and agonizing over vaccination shots for a few months now. My 5-year old daughter hasn't received the MMR vaccine, and won't ever if we're still allowed to choose.
She did get the polio and other vaccines as a baby. And today, after a lot of prayer, and seeing what shots I had as a child (much, much less than what's recommended now), our twins received some shots. But not before I took some anointing oil and prayed over them at home before going to the pediatrician.
We did not allow the Hep B shots, either at birth or today. It makes no sense for a baby to get a shot for a sexually transmitted disease.
I'm still very nervous, but trusting God to keep them from harm.
