I have had Piper immunised for everything and she has not had any bad reactions. If I did not do it and she got ill I think I would feel a bit guilty. Also my mums uncle had polio and its not nice

Maya is fully immunised including MenzB, it's something I personally consider important and never considered not doing.

With the Menz B I did think about how new it was etc. but a friends little boy was in the trials and I was happy with the info they had given her. Plus, if there is any way at all I can protect my baby from such a nasty disease, even if it is only effective in some cases then it's worth it.

Maya had a nasty reaction to her 15 mth MMR due to her egg allergy, but I will still give her the 4 year one, only we will have to have it done at Starship. IMO the reaction, scary as it was (she blew up like a balloon and needed adrenalin) only lasted a few minutes, diseases like measles can kill or maim.

That said, it is a personal choice and far be it from me to criticise anyone else for making a different decision.

i totally agree, it is a personal chooice and i don't think any of us here would judge someone for choosing either way. i am glad that i was fully informed both ways though instead of getting all the one-sided stuff that's supposed to convince you that immunising is the best thing to do. even though i did decide to immunise in the end, i'm glad i knew more about both sides.

Well thankyou all for being so open.
My friend's little boy who is now 2 was a happy healthy normal little baby till he was 8 week's old.(other then a hip splint)(he had is jab's late). He managed to crack his splint it is now believed he had a sezure (doc will not say that it was the jab's) he then at 10 week's old was confirmed to be legally blind. Anyway long story short is eye's are inproving he still has light sezure's and had to wear sun glasses prety muxh all the time, but he is now dignosed(SP?) with Autisum(SP?). As I said none of the droctor's will say that it was to do with the jab's, but it must be more then a coincident(SP?)
That all said I have not made a choice I was just really interested in what you guy's think.
What I want to know is is it hard to get into kindy etc if they have not had the jab's.

As far as I know, your child cannot be excluded from school if they have not been immunised, not sure if the same applies to kindergartens. You do have to provide a copy of their immunisation certificate either way so that if there is an outbreak of disease they are aware of which children are not immunised and can contact the parents accordingly. Furthermore, they are not legally allowed to question your decision not to immunise your child, and you are not obliged to tell them why you chose not to.

With the autism thing, it sounds like your friend's little man has had a pretty rough time! There was some suggestion that autism is linked to immunisation, and some websites still advocate this information, but subsequent in-depth studies have shown no link at all. The common factor is the age at which the immunisations are given - it is around the same age that things like brain damage, autism etc. also begin to present themselves, but general medical opinion at the current time is that this is simply a coincidence.

Not trying to change anyones mind or anything like that, its just that I wrote the OHbaby! immunisation pages with help from IMAC and that's what I learnt along the way.

Just wondering if u immunised Alan? - Bugger should read first lol

I would be very surprised it all the stuff that happened to ur friends baby was from the jabs, but how are you to know. I still wouldnt take the chance of not immunising over something rare like that if it is possible. (if u get me)

Now I can't find our immunisation page... looks like cyberspace swallowed it up when we upgraded the site, but am hunting thru the old files to try and find it.
