I've found it impossible to find information that isn't propaganda or scare-tactics, so it's slow going trying to sort the fact from the bias.
I fully agree. I started looking into the whole to immunise or not to immunise debate prior to even having a partner to get pg with. In the end I went with my gut and the personal info from my life that I felt significant.

Basically my immune system is almost non existent so even if I were to bf over a prolonged period there wouldn't be the anti-body benefits that most mothers can offer. Secondly, had I not had immunisations as a child and kept them updated I would have died from whooping cough complications in my early 20's. I buy into the arguement that the immunised diseases are in decline due to immunisation rates not just changes to the standard of living.

I do not debunk the links between autism and immunisation. In fact it was one of my biggest fears, especially as DD's brother has Aspergers. I have felt sick with fear for 72 hours after ever single vaccination my DD has had.

Currently she is 18 1/2 mths and I have not given her the chickenpox vaccination. I am not sure I will. It definately wont be for quite a few weeks as she is unwell and I want her completely well before any vaccinations.

Basically I got my DD vaccinated for "my" peace of mind. For me that seemed the safest option.
