DD didnt get it and wont be. We delayed others but varicella vax just doesnt sit well with me. Basically the same reason as you, atm we just dont feel that the rare complications outweigh the potential vax risks. I also felt that DD wasnt being directly exposed to many other children at that age to be concerned about her contracting it either. My other question that always came in to consideration was and still is- do we overlook the potential natura immunisation of extended BFing (certainly not starting any debates there!!! just something I was always interested about).

i didn't think that is one of the 'mandatory' ones on the schedule.
Are there 'manatory' ones? If so, what ones?
