It’s important to vaccinate. Not only to protect our kids but to protect the children that cannot be vaccinated.

I agree Vaccines plays a major role in our healthy lifestyle & that it has saved lives for more babies & children. But the main important thing is for the parent to know clearly on what Vaccination is being provided to the child, so they know the benefits clearly.

In reply to Anne | HealthySouthernMama.com. I agree Anne: If we can discuss this like grownups then kids are the beneficiaries of that.

I am thankful to have a pediatrician who is supportive with my preference to stagger vaccinations rather than follow the recommended schedule and have so many given all at once. We did not do the flu vaccine this year … who knows what we will do next year since they may be in a a school setting (homeschooled my son this year). It’s a shame that this topic has become so controversial and that people cannot have discussion without it becoming heated. I wish we could all be and act like grown ups when we disagree. Thanks for sharing!

I always vaccinated my children. I want to protect them from harmful diseases and I feel it is my duty as a parent to take all the measures

Vaccination is such a touchy subject for a lot of people. But what (I think) it comes down to is education. If you are fully educated on the risk and rewards of vaccines, then you have made the right decision.

All my kids are fully vaccinated. However I hate this topic. Hate it. My youngest developed hives from his last vaccine and it scared the crap out of me! People scolded me and it was terrible however the hives didn’t bother him and he’s alive so to me that’s still a win. I’ve done my research and I’m proud to have chose to vax. My youngest will now be staggered due to the last reaction but I still plan to have him fully vaccinated. Would much rather him alive and well, than deal with any potential life threatening illness or anything else!

This is a subject along with breastfeeding and circumcision that really hits people the wrong way, and it sucks. To each their own however newborns and elderly concerns me where no vaccination is concerned. Lots of people don’t think of others, who can’t get vaccinated, too early for it or who have weakened immune systems when it comes to vaccines and they only think of themselves. So sad.

I am totally pro vaccine, especially with working in healthcare! Just look at the outbreak of measles in Disneyland that could have been prevented…
