*cough* i bribed Caitlyn with McDs....

As for how i feel about vaccinations, um what .Mel said on the previous page, but swap the three children for one .....

I don't want to get in to a debate on here but someone mentioned that people that don't immunise their children do it because they believe they don't have to because everyone elses children are immunised.

Now whilst I believe that some ignorant people out there probably do have that stance it certainly isn't why we didn't get Spencer immunised nor is it the reason that a lot of other parents who have researched and chosen not to immunise. There are many many reasons why someone would choose not to immunise their child.
Mostly because we believe in letting nature do its thing and that allowing our child to be exposed to the disease and build a natural immunity is better than introducing an artificial strain. We also did not want to expose our child to all the other ingredients in the jabs especially as they go straight into the blood stream which is not how the human immunity system is designed to deal with things.
What also needs to be remembered is that just because a child has had the immunisation does not mean that they won't get the disease all it is designed to do is help them fight it off quicker and whether or not it does that is debatable.

Sarah this topic has come up a few times and as far as I am aware I am the only person on the board who hasn't immunised my child (unless there are others who haven't ventured into these threads).

Hi, I'm new at contributing to these forums! But we also have decided not to vaccinate at this stage (we have a 10 week old) and we're the only ones we know who haven't. We initially had a lot of opposition from some family members who didn't understand our decision but after explaining our reasons, they ow respect our decision. An interesting book to read is "Just a little prick" by Hilary Butler. Definitely worth the read, it is a little heavy in places when it comes to all the medical/scientific content but very thorough. You can get hold of it by emailing butler@watchdog.net.nz or ringing 09-2368990.

i dont want to argue about this but my research has all shown that MMR doesn't cause any diseases...i wont go into it all here..but that is my opinion from the research i have done.

Zaara had her Vit K jab at birth since I was in labour for 48 hours and ended up with a CS and therefore went ahead with Vit K. If the labour was fine then I would not have given it to her.

Zaara is fully vaccinised. I wouldnt have it any other way. She is happy and healthy and I would kick myself if she got sick from some thing that we have immunisations for.

I am not immunised against Rubella, as in Russia in late 70's it was not a concern and I was meant to have got immunsed after Zaara but totally forgot.
Hopefully I wont come into contact with any one who has it.

I also dont want to argue about this as it is a personal choice. But I am all for Immunisation.....in a BIG way. BUT respect other peoples choices and reasons.
