Hi All.
I don't want this to start a war or anything, but I would just like to
hear people's opinions (and why) on vaccinating babies. This is the
week for our first vaccinations (I declined Birth HepB) as William is 2
months old tomorrow. We do want to get him vaccinated, it's just a
matter of when we start, and whether we get them all done together.
Here is why I'm hesitant:
He is only 2 months old, and not going to be going into any childcare in
the near future (at LEAST 12 months if ever).
It isn't normal for a body to have to produce antibodies to 7 diseases
all at once - or is it?
I was thinking that it would be better to get only one injection at a
time so that if he reacts to something really badly, we will know which
vaccine to avoid next time.
The diseases such as Hep B and tetanus, and Diptheria, etc aren't all
that likely to find my son just yet - or are they?
However...
Should I just do it and not make a fuss? Just follow the government's
schedule?
He is in contact with 3 adults who work in schools - would that be a
reason to vaccinate sooner rather than later?
We have looked at pros and cons, and still can't come up with a concrete
decision.
Any opinions/info would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jo :)
