No.I was just doing one for s home medical file for the heck of it.I

have one for Nimet that I printed back in 2000,and wanted to see if there

were any changes.I mean how can you know your child is allergic to anything

at birth? Or has a blood/seizure disorder'?

As I read all the posts on the baby boards of babies getting 4-5 shots a

visit I can't help but feel sad,and happy that is missing out on

them!.Especially sad when I also read they are dosed up on tylenol,taken out

to the mall(or wherever) the same day,and the parents are grateful the child

is in a deep sleep.

Well like for the thimerosal/aluminum ones it would mean those vaccines have

those ingredients and your child would react to them IF you know they are

allergic to those ingredients.Same with the yeast/hepB.

The IPV was the only one that was not listed at all. I looked this up at

webmd.com

my health planner.Let me see if I bothered to safe a page:<A
