I think with several of the vaccinations it is a hard decision to make. There are good arguments for and against. I guess each individual needs to way up the pros and cons (like any parent needs to do on a daily basis pretty much!) and make the decision that best makes them comfortable with their choice.

As for chicken pox vacc, I had this as a kid (so Im told), but have a friend who didnt have it and had chicken pox when he was in his eraly twenties - apparently as a result now has fertility problems - but then this doesnt always happen, so it remains an individual choice and I think can depend on the circumstance of the child involved as well.

Either way I think its great that we each consider to such degree the welfare of our children - because I believe that is paramount.
