Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 Here's some more info on immunizations. DTP (diptheria, tetnus, pertussis) is what is given to children from 2mos-5yrs of age. After age five you would only get Td (Tetnus, diptheria). Although not commonly given, I'm sure these two do come as seperate componets. A great place for vaccine information is the CDC website. I believe its www.cdc.gov . Another site would be American Academy of Pediatrics www.aap.org . Also, DTP and Td, IPV (inactivated polio virus) are not live virus vaccines. MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), Varivax (varicella or chickenpox) are live virus vaccines. It is now standard practice to give a 2nd MMR vaccine since the college outbreaks of measles began a while back (can't remember exactly). Another interesting side note is that oral polio vaccine is no longer used in the U.S. since it was a live virus vaccine and there were 8-10 cases of polio caused by the vaccine per year. So to protect the unprotected and eliminate the vaccine contracted polio an inactivated form is now used. Hope some of you found this helpful Tammy Re: vaccinations > Hi , > Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 Hi , Thanks for the info. At the time of my first outbreak, the doctors wouldn't say it was definitely caused by the vaccination but they didn't rule it out. They advised me to play it safe and never have a tetanus shot. I've never had one and hope that I'll never need one. That was 15 years ago. I wasn't aware that there different types that could be used to avoid the same things that are in the vaccination. It's definitely useful info in case I ever do require a tetanus shot. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 Elaine, The link below belongs to Ministery of Health and Consumption. http://www.msc.es/salud/epidemiologia/home.htm It shows the recommended calendary for vaccination of children, present year. Please scroll to the right to see it complete. As you see it's 'recommended', not obligued. Foot note (**) indicates cases when it is obligatory. (Translation below). However I think almost all moms have their babies vaccinated. In addition to the recommendations above from the central Government, local Autonomic Governments may have some specifics. In the Autonomic Region where I live, hepatitis b vaccine is given at the moment of birth (1st shot), second at 2 months and 3rd at 6 months. At 12 years pre-adolescent dose. Here the calendar has slight differences also, f.i. 4th shot of VPO, DTP, Hib are given at 18 months instead of at 15 month, 5th shot is given at 6 years instead of starting at 4 year, and TV1 at month 15 instead of month 12. (data from their site). Footnotes translation. (*) In situation of special risk one dose at 9 months or earlier. (**) New born will also be vaccinated when Health Authorities estimate doing so, as well as new born from bearer-mothers and those from groups at risk. (***) Re-vaccination is recommended every ten years (****) Children who have not been given second dose before being 6 years old Vacunas = vaccines edad = age meses = months años = years A.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Hi , thanks for the info. I think overall vaccines are definitely important, but there needs to be some more research here on the combined live vaccines and the postpartum rubella immunizations. Like with everything, we're all individuals and some of these mandatory immunization protocols in the U.S. seem to be causing a tremendous amount of harm in some children.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 > Thanks , I'll use this to compare things. Yes, I see. That's why I've given you the calendar's link. (You're welcome). I realized today that it doesn't lead you directly to the calendar's page, as link is shared by all pages under the same frame. That's one of the various reasons why I don't like frames!. I'm sorry I did not check it first. So, in case you want to have a glympse at the calendar, then after clicking here http://www.msc.es/salud/epidemiologia/home.htm you have to click on the third line, beside Picasso's picture where it reads " Prevencion y Promocion de la Salud " When new page is displayed, scroll down to the eight line which reads " Calendario de Vacunaciones " And it's now, after clicking on it, when the calendar appears. (Again, excuse me!). *^* I have talked with several friends of mine who have little children. Data they gave me coincide with what I've said. No special problems they know about, or they've heard at schools or to other mom's. One of them, when I specifically requested her about serious problems derivated from vacinations, like autism and others recently commented here, she said: " None, that I know, but a pediatrician who is a customer of mine (my friend is a Veterinary and has a Vet. clinic) did not want to vaccinate her dog stating that she'd had at the Hospital two serious problems derivated from vaccines. But when her dog died with " moquillo " (1), first thing she did when she bought another puppy was bringing him to my clinic for vaccination " . Her position is pro-vaccines, and added many other comments underlining her position: " Of course, when you look at the whole calendar of vaccination, you think it's a big amount of shots for a baby, but I don't want to even think about the possibility of my son catching a meningitis which would be probably fatal for him " . -She has a 28 month old boy-. She added " I'm vaccinating animals every other day and I very well know what happens when they aren't vaccinated, and what vaccines have supposed to humankind. " etc. They all confirmed it is not obligatory here, groups of risk excepted, but asking about vaccination calendar is first thing a pediatrician does when the baby is taken to his office. Well, it seems that this is how it functions here. A. (1) a fatal disease for dogs. I couldn't trace its translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think you're right. Same happens with antibiotics. No doubt they have implied a tremendous benefit for humankind. But they can also bring important problems to a number of individuals. And the *abuse -more than the use- of antibiotics, even with children, has to be regarded in the big picture. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Hi , Interesting point you bring out about the anti-biotic. The abuse with them over the years has ended up creating virulent strains of diseases that will no longer respond to them...I can't help but wonder if that is what all of the garbage they put into vaccines will end up doing the same in time?
