Mom, Did You Vaccinate Your Kids?
mila
Vaccination is of course a personal choice… although the government would like you to believe differently. Whether you do or not is of course up to the individual parent and their believes.
We all do what we feel is best for our children under our circumstances. And personally, I can’t say for sure which way is best because each situation is different.
For example, tell the mom who lost her 5 year old to measles that you choose not to vaccinate and she’ll surely tell you please to reconsider. On the flip side ask the mom who has several autistic children about vaccines and her warning may be different altogether.
There’s an intersting post about vaccines on the forums… it’s good to hear the different perspectives on this issue…

I always was for vaccinating against anything and everything. I it was just the way that we’ve always done things. But now I’m starting to think differently.
My children have never shown any kind of side effects from bein vaccinated, but it really makes you wonder if it’s just a matter of time.

I vaccinated my first born because that is “what you’re supposed to do”. He’s had a variety of issues and we feel that vaccines contributed to it. We haven’t vaccinated the baby and won’t give the first born his boosters. We’ve done TON of research on the topic and feel good about this decision.

I vaccinated my kids, like the other moms, because it’s what we’re told we’re supposed to do. Who knew that you could decide NOT to. I mean, it’s a requirement if your child goes to public school, so unless you’re planning to homeschool, you don’t have much of a choice.
Thankfully my kids haven’t had any issues with them, but if I were able to go back and do it again, I think I’d pass.

You know Mara I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think that legally they can keep children out of public school if they’re not vaccinated?
I’m not sure, I know the school always asks for this information in the US (not in the UK) but I wonder if it’s an actual legal requirement..
