I'm a pro-vaccine mum-to-be, but I have nothing against the homeopathic method of vaccination (my aunt and Uncle are homeopathic/naturopathic people), as long as parents vaccinate one way or the other!

I was a sick kiddie (very bad asthma), and had my immunisations (as did bro and sis) as getting something like whooping cough would most probaby have meant the end for little old me.

I don't mean to be inflammatory, but I think it's selfish for parents to not vaccinate at all (either conventionally or homepathically), because there could well be a child living next door to you who IS immunocompromised, or has a chronic medical condition that means getting ill = a trip to hospital every time.

I agree that parents have the right to information about vaccination, but the decision you make might not end up being just about your kid, especially when they start interacting closely with other children. One of my friends has a toddler who hasn't been vaccinated at all and I'm sure as heck not going to feel guilty about not wanting him around my baby. I don't want to have the same experience my parents had with a child spending almost as much time in hospital as out.
