We've chosen to immunise after much reading. There's scary stories on both sides of the coin. I too would be panicking at every sickness if he wasn't immunised and would be devestated if he got whooping cough or something awful that I could have prevented.

My bro hasn't vaccinated his kids, and have not run into any problems with schools etc.

My only gripe against the vaccines is the heavy metals present in them. The jab itself doesn't worry me (I know some people are sensitive to 'hurting' their baby). I guess it helps that Tallon doesn't get upset when he's jabbed! heh.

I'm not sure if I agree with condensing it all into less needles.. that's a lot for the poor little body to cope with! Much easier to cope with a few extra jabs IMO. Once again, I have a boy that doesn't seem to care he's getting stabbed with a big needle. LOL. My view might be different were he to be really distressed each time.

I also used to fear that if he wasn't immunised, that he had to stay away from kids recently vaccinated.. especially with polio etc. But apparently that has changed.. it's no longer a 'live' virus that they inject, plus it's no longer oral, so it's not contagious from their poos etc.

I also read that the flu injection can NOT give you the flu for the same reason.. it's not a live virus. So all those ppl that reckon they got the flu from the shot - you didn't! hehe.
