Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I just got off the phone with my mom. First, let me say that while she did not agree with our decision not to vaccinate, to her credit she did not ever pester me about it either. Today after 9 years and her getting her flu shot every year, she finally said that she was glad that I put in the time to research vaccines before our first child was born and that she was glad we chose not vaccinate our children. I know this is not our government allocating dollars to study the effects of childhood vaccines or passing a federal law allowing for any parent to refuse at will, but in my little corner of the universe, this is a major deal and I wanted to share it with all of you.
