Sherie if the child has a weakened immune system at the time of immunisation there is a chance (don't know percentages ) that they can contract a lowered form of the disease. But it is the same with homeopathic vaccinations as well, either way what is used is a weakened form of the disease to help them build up an immunity to the disease.
I have had Matilda vaccinated against some of the diseases but not all, and I have had some of the vaccines spread out so as not to infiltrate her body with so much at once. I also have chosen to use certain homeopathic vaccinations.
It really is something that I think people should read up on, gain information about both sides & make an informed decision.
Our friends entire family just went through an awful bout of chicken pox & Matilda hasn't had anything for that and it did stir up the thoughts in my mind about what my choice was & why.
I do feel strongly about this. For people that don't immunise that is their choice, and it's all good and well to give them a healthy home, food etc but they won't get the disease because others have immunised. I am immunising my child and thus protecting those who choose not to immunise. I have a friend who wont immunise because her child is too precious. I was extremely offended as to me it means "your child can be immunised, I don't care, but mine is more precious". Also the unimmunised ones are still protected at kindy. If there's an outbreak they don't go to kindy, that's protecting them
However, I am happy to immunise, I couldn't relax if I didnt'. I want to do the absolute best for my kids and for me that is to immunise. My eldest came to me about 2 months ago and asked for the chicken pox vaccine. Im so glad I had her done for all the rest or she'd have wanted all them as well! So I know I did the right thing.
Also my close friend has a 9 mth old whom she hasnt vaccinated, and he got a terrible cough the other night. My friend cried all night thinking it was whooping cough, rushed off to Doc's in the morning and they calmed her down and said it wasnt'. She said she talked to the Dr for about an hour and can't get her son in soon enough to have his vaccines, it scared the life out of her (he just has to wait until he's better). Just made me realise, what WOULD happen if the unvaccinated got sick, isn't that worse?? I think that it's good to look at the positive and negative sides, but really what IF a child got a disease and wasn't vacinnated.
My best friends little 6 month old got pneumaccocal and the ONLY reason she didn't die is because she'd had the first immunisation. All the Dr's attested to this and said it saved her life. My friend is first in line for every single immunisation. So instead of just looking at what happens if there's a dodgy immunisation, really look at a disease and see what it can do to a little person xo
