What do you tell people who ask about why you're not vaccinating? I have a feeling this is going to come up at my mothers group tomorrow. Only one girl in the group knows that we have not vaccinated DS and we have given him homeopathics. It is not something that I have hidden and it's not a topic that has been discused in the group. Last week one mum asked if DS has had his 6 months injectoins and all I said was no. Then 30 seconds later she asked if I was giving them to him at all with a rather worried tone in her voice and again all I said was no. She didn't ask anything else but call it intuition, I have am pretty sure she wasn't impressed! I overheard another mum down the other end of the table one day a couple of months ago saying that she didn't want to take her DD to a play group until she was 6 months and has had her last whooping cough injection incase there was an UNVACCINATED child there who could give her DD whooping cough I didn't bother saying anything as I wasn't involved in the discusion and she clearly didn't know the facts.

Anyway what do you tell people who ask "why aren't you vaccinating"? It's a conversation I don't particularly want to have especially with people who aren't really interested in the answer (I'm sure you know the ones I'm talking about).
