Your pedi looks at you sideways, talks about the importance of vaccines, stresses that hers is a vax practice, etc.<BR/><BR/>Sheesh, people. I'm not anti-vax (although I'll admit to being deeply suspicious of the aluminum and chickenpox dealy-wagons), I just don't want to squirt that much stuff that fast that young.<BR/><BR/>But hey, it all works out.ZMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469113104449353180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-88954509363533529952008-08-23T10:22:00.000-04:002008-08-23T10:22:00.000-04:00Yeah.In the US you can have the MMR separated (at ...Yeah.<BR/><BR/>In the US you can have the MMR separated (at least in the state where I live).Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887313952590843057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-84648214297373382042008-08-22T18:31:00.000-04:002008-08-22T18:31:00.000-04:00Another angle is that in many cases parents would ...Another angle is that in many cases parents would be far more comfortable with separating the measles, mumps and rubella shots and paternalistic governments are not allowing it because they believe the lazy among us (the perceived majority of mothers) just wouldn't get it done. They also claim to be reducing the trauma on the child.<BR/><BR/>I for one am EXTREMELY uncomfortable with the MMR being given at 12 months of age and waited until 18 months with my kids. Not because of the autism association, but becuase it is a lot to load a tiny immune system with as the MMR comes with other shots as well. I could not even pay to get the vaccinations seperated because I wasn't trusted to follow up with the other two shots at later dates.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if this is an issue in the US but it certainly is in the UK and Europe. So I would have to say on reading that article that it has quite a bias that doesn't mind skewing information for effect.<BR/><BR/>That said, a high immunization rate is essential to keep our general population's health as good as it is. And all that's just my opinion :)Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390479974754816006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-80761475554976414882008-08-22T09:59:00.000-04:002008-08-22T09:59:00.000-04:00It's good to know.

But as someone who almost lost a child to vaccines and she's permanently disabled from the reaction she had to it I'll take a chance with the measles rather then the vaccines. Raeden is 100% fully un-vaccinated and besides pneumonia (From her asthma) she's healthy as a horse.<BR/><BR/>Especially considering the fact that last year's Measles outbreak 50% of the cases were in vaccinated teenagers meaning that the vaccine isn't a for life thing in some peopleLissa Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557935025286786358noreply@blogger.com
