[blparent] immunizing.

[kate02 at bellsouth.net]

OK.  I don’t want to go in to this in length but I would just like to point out that there are thymerasol free shots available.  Some insherence covers it and some don’t.  This was part of how we decided to vaccinate and we also found a Pediatrician who would spread the shots out.  

But truly this is just one of those things parents need to decide for themselves.

Good luck.
