Any non immunisers? (not a debate)

I am wondering if any mums here have chosen not to vaccinate their children and if so how you made that decision?  Or has anyone delayed the vaccinations?  Drew is coming up 8 weeks and I havent been in to get his 6 week ones done yet  Am not wanting a vaccination debate, just interested in hearing from those who have made this decision.  Thanks!!

We have not vaccinated. We looked at all the pros and cons and also DH is friends with an ex GP who was involved in research into immunisation in Belgium and after considering all the facts we decided that we would take the risk of him catching one of the illnesses and be armed with dealing with the consequences. My m/w's daughter held off giving the jabs for a while, there is no reason that they need to be started at 6 weeks, it is just the time between the jabs that is important.

No official decsion has been made here (still have a couple of weeks to go) but we have decided not to do the menzb, I'm just not happy with the level of research into it at this stage.

I did my research, and chose not to vaccinate. Of course it helped sway my decision in that I haven't been vaxed at all and I was really healthy overall as a kid.

same here... and i certainly dont mind delaying either. i think the main thing if you are going to delay or not immunise at all is to make sure you are more aware of the illnesses and symptoms.

and that if you send them to say preschool or any place like that they have to be sent home if there is an outbreak of anything they are not immunised against..

can anyone tell me why australia has different schedule...2,4 ,6 months then a year...when we have 6 weeks 3,5,10 15 months? makes no sense to me?:(

and Kiwi.. after much debate i decided on the menz one (and the others) but as the others said its not the time its the time between...good luck in deciding!

thank you all for your feedback!!  I think we will probably get them done, but am seriosuly considering delaying them (what am I saying I am already late!!).  I appreciate all your replies, I know it is a very personal decision

I have found my clinic book (I am an Aussie baby) and my jabs were given at 2, 4 and 5 months for Triple Antigen (which is Diptheria, Tetanus and whooping cough), 2, 5 and 7 months I had Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine. 12 months I had Smallpox and Measles. 13 months I has another Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine. 18 months I had the last dose of Triple Antigen and the Chicken Pox Vaccine.

If you dont feel right don't get it done.
