Guest guest Posted June 23, 1999 Report Share Posted June 23, 1999 I am all for vaccinating our children. I totally agree with you. The scary thing is , is that the more children who arnt vaccinated means a higher chance of an outbreak.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 1999 Report Share Posted June 24, 1999 , You cannot worry about things you have no control of. It's just wasted energy. You could say the same thing about driving down the road, crossing the street, etc. But this is just life. You just have to do the best in the areas you have control of and leave the rest up to fate. I personally somewhat agree with not vaccinating...let me explain, I DO think it's necessary to get the vaccinations, but I just do not agree with the schedule. I think a 2 day old baby's immune system is not yet strong enough to handle the stress of a foriegn invasion into the body. Where is your 2 day old baby going to pick up hepetitis anyways? Can't it wait until the baby's a bit older, stronger? Most people don't take their babies out for the 1st 6 to 8 weeks. Then after that it's still very limited exposure. I just think if I were to ever have another baby, I would wait to vaccinate. But this is just my opinion, and I give it so that you can maybe see the flip side of the argument. I hope it doesn't make you more angry...??...if so I'm sorry Wife to Tom, Mom to 6 yr Zach, ???(don't know the specific type) PID, GERD, chronic sinusitis, IVIG, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 1999 Report Share Posted June 25, 1999 Ursula, It might be interesting to see what types of meds the kids are all allergic too. I know we have a long list and maybe we can see a pattern here as well. Sue W Mom to Jake and Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 1999 Report Share Posted June 25, 1999 Tracey, I agree with you about not giving children shots if they are not healthy. did not receive all her shots right away because of her being ill and because of the neutropenia. Yes, some kids do have a bad reaction to some. I don't think parents should risk it. It just made me mad that many of them felt that these diseases are out there anymore so why risk it on the account of they MAY have a reaction to it. is allergic to Lorabid, Cefzil, Zithromax and Bactrim But when she is sick she still gets an antibiotic. We take the risks crossing a street. === and (neutropenic and immune deficent) mom to Evan 6, 4 and Abby Rose (almost 2) _________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 1999 Report Share Posted June 25, 1999 , I wrote a long couple of messages on immunizations in people with immune deficiencies. There are also a number of replies to it, equally valid. I can't remember exactly when they were posted, but I know the subjects were clearly marked " immunizations " if you want to search the archives. I think you will find that we think similarly...

If needs a strong antibiotic,she gets IV ones. She had an ear infection that wouldn't go away during the winter and even the shots of rocefin didn't work had to use a stronger one, forgot the name. > > > and Sue: I thought we had it bad being > allergic to Pennicillin and > Augmetin and the chickenpox vaccine.
