MenzB Imms..

i didn't see the doco but have been up and down about whether to give it to Ethan so would be great to see what the doco said..its not proven which is what worries me..but i will be giving it to him i think because what if he got it and i hadnt..but anyway be good to see what doco said.

Have a look at the above website it is for the immunisation awareness society. For some reason it is not working on my computer at the moment but I think its cos I have an apple mac and not their website. On the left hand side is a page for vaccines and dieseases and then a link for MenzB, check out what they say. I didn't see the doco but this website probably has the same info.
(Just be aware that they are the exact opposite of the gov and are very anti vaccine so take it with a pinch of salt.)

I would not just do what anyone suggests for anything and would always research it myself first, but that's just me. The medical profession and government is well known for saying things are "safe" and then twenty years later paying out millions in compensation because they either knew damn well it wasn't or they didn't know but decided to give it to people anyway.

Must be their website then cos that's what it was doing with me. Try it again tomorrow it does normally work so perhaps they are doing site maintenance or something.

The thing about immu is that regardless of whether or not they get their jabs, they will still end up with certain things. I think they advise you get them so that it lessens the effect of the disease if it does strike as the body had built up their immunity to it.

Still, I don't think anyone has the right to tell you whether or not you should get them done, it's a matter of choice.

We are debating whether or not to give the MMR, there was a huge debate in the UK a few years back about this jab as there was apparently links to autism.

It is a really hard choice and something only you can decide, I think either way you are doing what you think is best. If she has already had them then don't go looking for things it might cause, you will just get yourself worried.

as everyone has said it is a personal decision. I didn't see the doco but from the info I read I thought that it may have been slightly biased. In the end we decided to give Jack all his jabs. there were 2 really good websites that I went on to get info about MeNZB but I can only find this one. If you google meNZB you may find more info

with stuff like this, I believe in researching stuff before it's done, but if it's done already - ignoring everything cause it's too late and you just feel bad.

we had both boys immunised and regret nothing

I think you mad a good choice getting it done.
I am the co-ordinator of a special needs group and alot of our mums of special needs children have had their children immunised.

We decided to go with all the immunisations as I could not live with myself if Bella became sick because I didnt get them done. If she has a side effect from the jabs I would be devastated but I would know that I was trying to do what was best and not feel as awful as the above situation.

They used to do the MMR at 9 months in Aus, my brother was done and still went on to get both measles and rubella. They later discovered that the antibodies passed thru breastmilk can be still present in a baby at 9 months which fools the immunisation into thinking the body already has immunity. So they rescheduled it to 12 months + by which time the antibodies have diminished.
