Child Vaccinations
Are you for, or against some, all, none?
Are you for them?
Please share your view, and why.
Are the decisions you make on which ones are acceptable, somewhat based on the area you live, and the risks that go with that? (IE: You live in an area where many do not vaccinate at all, like near old order Mennonite groups or what have you...)
It is my understanding regarding live vaccines, if a child, say at 2 months old (please see attached chart) were to receive a (live) vaccine for polio, and they do not take that vaccine, I have to weigh 2 risks:
1) the side effect risk(s) that comes w taking the vaccine(especially live vaccines)
2) if they don’t take it, and are thruout their lifetime ever near someone who has just taken the live vaccine(within 5 days of taking the shot) they could get/catch, whatever that person was vaccinated for. This is called “shedding”, I believe.
We have always avoided live vaccines w my children, but have done whooping cough because the vaccine is not live, and whooping cough can kill, and it has been in our area in the past, some.
