Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I spoke today with a pregnant friend. She approached me about the concerns of immunizations. We have had prior conversations about vaccinating. I told her then that I would never tell her not to immunize, but I did tell her to carefully consider all aspects before deciding to immunize. At that time I told her unless her husband and/or self are sexually promiscuous or IV drug users, hepB at birth was rediculous. I suggested if she needs daycare at some point and wanted to immunize for hepB to wait until then, at least give her baby some time to age. Well, that was two weeks ago. Since then she told me her husband is pretty much against all immunizations and she has 11 pregnant friends across the nation and they're all leaning toward not immunizing. One of them is her sister, who is also afraid to immunize. According to her it's because of the government's failure to properly test and research vaccines and autism. So, it appears all us " whacked out " mothers aren't the problem, it's the government. I gave her commonsense tips if they do decide to immunize, such as waiting as long as possible, only one at a time, not when sick, never give tylenol, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
