Late immunisations

[BellyBelly]

Have you thought about homeopathocally vaccinating? I was speaking to the lovely naturopath at BellyBelly, Nicole, and she was telling me of the studies that showed non-vaccinated chidren actually had stronger immune systems. There are lots of new vaccines out there at the moment, it concerns me, we are always finding out bad side effects and not doing enough study but all these new things just keep coming out... I stopped vaccinating and my kids have been very healthy. I know all Pinky's kids are not vaccinated either and they are very healthy, smart and intelligent kids. In fact, whenever there is an outbreak of something, its the parents of vaccinated kids that jump up and down - but shouldnt they be wondering why their vaccinated kids got sick?

Hmmmm. I was 2 months late with Pip's vaccination, and maybe that's why we're not getting the $$$$ paid to the CCC. Doh.

You should get the immunisation benefit regardless, even if you choose not to vaccinate. You just need to sign a form to say you are making an informed decision not to vaccinate. Don't they pay it at 18 months tho?

Kelly whats homeopathocally vaccinating?

Kaz you will get the immnunisation allowence at 12 months. You will also get a letter from FAO if Pip isnt up to date saying they will cut your CCB if you dont get them up to date (unless they have done that and already cut your money). I got one for Jasmine the other week, but we dont get any help so theres nothign for them to cut!

You use homeopathics instead of pharmaceuticals If you are free on a Tuesday or Thursday, pop down to the centre and have a chat with our naturopaths about what it involves - you can buy the homeopathic vaccination kits from Nicole, not sure if Jocelyn has them? But probably could access them. Or Nicole might pop in here...

You actually get the immunisation allowance at 18 months. But I think they stop the CCB when any vaccinations are missed. But they do warn you first.

doh. I missed opening a letter that said they were about to cut the CCB but now he's vacc'd. Turns out the CCB was stopped cause they're moving from one system to another and centrelink put his birthday in the system wrong by a day. So now I have to take his birth certificate to centrelink. Yay. There goes my monday.
