This vax stuff is so hard... how did you all reach the decisions you did.
Can I firstly say that I think vaccinating your children is a personal choice, so I'll neither sway my post for or against vac'ing in terms of what you should do.

I am pro-vac. While I haven't researched extensively, I'm aware through online forums and the recent debates in the country that it carries a small chance of risk. OK - "small" is my thinking given my stance. I don't expect all will agree. I vac'd my kids because I didn't/don't want them to contract the illnesses these vac's were designed to protect against and/or spread them.

I've no doubt vaccinations aren't fool-proof, I wouldn't be surprised if they were detrimental to some children. I wouldn't be surprised if - in years to come - there are confirmed links to cancer. By the same token, I also think that household chemicals, cosmetic sprays, preserved foods etc could also be equally as detriminental for some. I guess my point is that "nothing" - or "everything" - in our world today seems to carry some health risk. Hope that makes sense. But hey, if one of my kids (or a friend's child) had had a bad reaction to a vac, I'd most likely think very differently.

And can I reiterate - this is my opinion only. It's not meant as a reason why anyone else should vac. I'm just answering the OP's question.

Mumof2boys - good luck. You're decision won't be an easy one. Maybe the best way to tackle it is to think about what will keep you awake at night less, iykwim?

ETA: Sheesh, re-reading this I sound defensive. Sorry, not my intention ... I guess I'm anticipating this could turn into a pro and anti vac debate, and not one I want to kick start
