Oh hope feel better soon, this parenting thing can be so confusing at times. Vaccination wasn't something I had even thought about when I had DD so just went with the flow and got her vaxed as that's 'just what you do' She was done up until 6 months and then I started researching and she hasn't had any since and ds has had none. I do feel as though I need to do a lot more reading in the subject though, there is just so much out there it can be really overwhelming!
Hugs hun it is awful when they are so upset and irratible but in the long run she is better for being protected.
As a health professional I have seen some really sick kids and adults from things that they could be vaccinated against. This has swayed my decsion a bit, yes people can still get things that they have been vaccinated against BUT they get a much milder case of the illness.
Some vaccs can be delayed but not all have the option as some must be done or not done within a set age bracket. Rotavirus is 1 of these.
Rotavirus vaccine has reduced the amount of sick infants admitted to hospital with this horrible form of gastro.
PZ, it is SUCH a hard decision. I still don't know what to do. I think it's the hardest decision I've had to make. I am a partial/delayed vaxxer. I still don't know if it's the 'right' decision but at the moment I just really don't feel comfortable vaxxing my kids when they're babies.
You can choose to delay the rest if you want except rotavirus. If you want to get that you can only get it done when they say.
I found 'the vaccine book' by Dr Sears the most helpful.
