the only thing that irks me is why do parents who vaccinate worry about their kids being around kids who are not vaccinated? i mean, isnt the whole aim of vaccination to not catch that disease? obviously if you vaccinate then you must have faith that it works, or you wouldnt do it, so why would you be worried? i dont and never will understand that.
I think the issue is, from talking to other mums, when they have a child with a chronic illness. That child can be immunised but still get very sick if they were to contract an infection or illness. I'm sure most people will acknowledge that immunisations are not meant to provide you with 100% immunity, rather they will lessen the severity of the illness if you do contract it. I was immunised fully due to a chronic illness, and I'll probably do the same with my child (as it will likely inherit my condition, being brittle asthma).
