It is a tough one. I asked the paed about links to autism, and he kinda jumped on the coincidence bandwagon saying that because the babies are having frequent vaccinations, then whenever you get the first signs of autism, it's bound to be close to some immunisations. I think allergic reactions are more frightening than the risk of autism anyway.. they seem to be the scarier stories.

*shrug* I'm still undecided about the whole thing.. but lean more towards immunising as opposed to not immunising. But that's just me

As for the chickenpox vax.. my nephew & neice weren't immunised, and they got chickenpox a little while ago.. and my nephew was taken to hospital as they were worried that he was getting them in his lungs. Chickenpox can be very nasty, you can get it in your eyes, and girls can get in their girly bits.. it can be much more serious than just a few itchy spots on the torso and limbs! I figure if you can reduce the severity of it by getting a headstart with the vax, then why not.
