Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Jackie, the only one I am sure of is polio vaccine. It goes through the body and if while changing diaper they don't wash hands or they are not careful it can be passed on. I was going to baby sit for my best friend who's child is 8 mo younger then mine but she still vaccinates and I don't want the risk, I am also not going back to a daycare situation because of this. not sure but chix pox may be the same.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 jackie - only in the case of the live vaccines, such as chickenpox! the site www.whale.to has loads of info on vaccines, check there which ones are live, apart from the varicella one. claudia --- Jackie ez <jaqjav@...> wrote: > From: Jackie ez <jaqjav@...> > > Hi everyone, > I have a question--I've heard that kids who do get > shots are somewhat > 'contageous', how true is this and how long does it > last?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Hi Jackie I believe all the " live " vax can " shed. " Measles component of the MMR can shed up to two weeks. Polio (as already mentioned thru feces) and the varicella (chicken pox) is a live one too. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 The Money Magazine, Dec. 1996, discussed a mom, fully vaccinated, who got polio after changing her daughter's diaper. I would not go over board...but definately use good hygiene practices. Until my daughter understands the concept of not swallowing water in a pool....we got her a little pool and this is what she uses. I agree with the other post about the other live vaccines....

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 SWIMMING POOL/POLIO VACCINE ISSUES I have been following the swimming pool/polio virus with great interest and have been digging to find some facts of chlorine.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Hi, Jackie, Children who take the oral polio/live virus vaccine would " shed " the live virus in their saliva, urine and feces for up to two months afterwards.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 Does anyone know if getting the disease from a recently vaccinated person is the same as getting the " true " disease? I always thought that getting the disease that way may be a " mutant " form and not the real one, which I WOULD be scared of? If not, then I would love to expose my son to those diseases (except polio) because the way things are going, I don't know if he's ever going to get measles and chicken pox naturally, since everyone will be vaccinated against them. I want him to get them in childhood so he can get them over with and never have to worry about them again. I know those two are still somewhat around, but does anyone hear of anyone getting mumps any more? I guess the days of " chicken pox parties " are over :-( Anyone whose kids get the diseases should post here and where they live so we can get our kids exposed! :-) Also, I've never really been worried about swimming pool exposure to polio because I figure the shere volume of water, let alone all the chlorine, would be enough to dilute it's strength to practically nothing. (Unless maybe EVERYONE in the pool had it) Weren't the pool scares of the '50's because they really didn't know alot about the disease then and people were just paranoid, the way they were at first with AIDS?
