[blparent] immunizing.

[Michael Baldwin]

Not telling you what to do, but here are my thoughts.

Immunization has less risk associated than not getting immunized.  I know
people who were against immunizing, and had a child die.  I do not know
anyone who has had a child die from getting immunized.

Some states do have laws about what immunizations are required, but not all
that the doctor will recommend are required, and there are ways around it if
it is against your religion.  Not sure the ways around it, but if it is
something your very serious about, you will find it out.

Public schools, and most day cares require certain immunizations to be given
before the child can enroll.  If your thinking of home schooling, this isn't
an issue, until the child goes to college.  Most colleges even require
students to have their immunizations up to date.

Ok, here is an area of major conflict for me especially. I am visually
impaired as a result of Rubella Syndrome so you can imagine my dilemma here.
To immunize or not that is the question. There is endless controversy on
this subject. I know 2 kids that are Autistic and it seems to be a result of
their 18 month needle yet if people don't immunize then the risk of Rubella
comes back and could potentially kill countless unborn children. I have also
heard that there is a connection with needles and SIDS. Man I know that you
can't buy into everything that is said but, who is right here anyway. First
they say that needles are great and now doctors push for them and you're
faced with ticking them off because you don't know if want to get it done or
not. Docs around here make it sound manditory so it's hard to argue with
them about it. They don't seem to give you the option of not doing it. It's
funny but, I can see how getting it done could be harmful considering you
are pumping small amounts of disease into your kid yet the later affects can
be potentially fatal as well. I hate making these decisions. UGH.
