Why did you choose to vaccinate your child?

[Aussiegirl777]

We were always going to vaccinate. For us the benefits outweighed the risk. At 5 weeks old my DS contracted WC, he was 3 days away from getting his first vaccination. After his illness that just reinforced to us that vaccination was necessary in our society. There are diseases that we can continue to prevent with vaccination. There are diseases that we have stopped in Australia that without continued vaccination have a definate possibility of returning to this country again.

like others have said, i think the benefit outweighs the risk. i would not want my children to get a preventable disease.

I feel the benefits far outways the risk. I couldn't live with the guilt that I chose not to vax my kids and they got sick.
