    But you know what the funny thing is - the parents of children who choose to vaccinate are the ones who create all the hoo haa when their children catch these things that are going around and blame the parents of those who don't vaccinate - but hang on - your child is apparently 'vaccinated'?! So who do we really blame? Vaccinations are not foolproof.

    It was not that my mum made a choice not to vaccinate, but my sisters and I were not fully vaccinated as I had a severe reaction to MMR, and ongoing probs with Eczma as a concequence. athe only downside to this was that I caught measles while in primary school and gave it to my young sister. She ended up very sick as she was still an infant.

    Regardless of anyone's opinion, your health nurse did not treat you with respect for your decisions. Even if she doesn't agree, she should not be opinionated on it. I think that you should find a MCHN that is a bit more open minded to others POV. I changed MCHN as I felt like mine was always telling me I was doing everything wrong.

    In the end the decision is YOURS. You should not feel forced.

    It is a personal choice.
    But i must say, DS had the same reaction to his 2 month needles also. We just gave him some panadol before each of his next needles and he was totally fine, never had a reaction at all.
    If you choose to continue with them, maybe that might help.
