- Hattie PattersonWrong Angela. It's the newborns and older babies who haven't received all their vaccines yet who can catch something if your son or another child is carrying it and it's proven that the most likely place to catch it is at a pedi office. I have researched all vaccines my boys have received and I'm also really sad that after asking my boys pedi almost 12 years ago if their vaccines contain mercury (which they don't) I was the first person to ask them. You're right people, should educate themselves.
- Hattie PattersonCandice I feel where you're coming from. We had a long first year with our youngest, Evan. He was a premie, 2 months early, and had 2 very sever cases of RSV and long periods of time in the PICU. So I know way to well what your talking about. I also refused follow up visit at the pedi's office because at the time they still saw unvaccinated children and I didn't want to take the chance of him catching something with his already weak immune system. I still respect y'all's decisions b/c that's the way y'all want to raise y'alls children and people should raise their children based on their beliefs!!!about an hour ago ·

So what I was wondering what y'all think of this topic? Hope y'all have a happy Thursday!
Touchy subject. I never knew that ped's would refuse to see un vaccinated children. I agree with the idea of it, because a child who has never had vaccines can carry around a disease and give it to a newborn who has never had a chance. Vaccines were created to prevent outbreaks of diseases that killed many of our ancestors. Measles, mumps, polio... and more.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, schools stand firm on children needing vaccines to enter the public school system.
We absolutely vaccinate with every opportunity and I'm actually at the doctor's office the day my kids qualify, based on their age. I believe the benefits far outweigh the risks. I've spoken to several pediatricians and have done the research that I think supports my decision.

I don't mean to be insensitive to those who choose not to vaccinate. I absolutely respect other parents' choices, but I don't agree with them.
I totally agree. I dont like the idea that those who do not vaccinate are relying on the rest of the population to keep their children safe. If enough people do not vaccinate, these illnesses will come back!
ReplyDeleteI'm pro-vaccine, so I agree! No offense to those who don't vaccinate, but I don't want to take my 1 month old baby, who isn't vaccinated yet, to the doctor, and have her catch something.
