laurab if you choose not to do the MMR, you may still want to consider some of the others such as polio.

i researched immunisation when ds was a baby, and for me one of the considerations was the issue of social responsibility. on the one hand, your child will have 'herd protection' when almost everyone else is immunised - but on the other hand, reduction or eradication of diseases requires that everyone participate.

i looked up homoeopathic immunisation and found that anta (australian natural therapies association) does not endorse it as a replacement for the conventional vaccines. there may be other umbrella bodies that do - clearly there are individual homoeopaths who do - but you should do your own research and draw your own conclusions. as for financial incentives, they obviously apply to natural therapists too. unfortunately, economics influences everything we do...
