I don't understand what you are saying when you say there's no risk either way ... I believe in shots I don't see anything wrong with them I personally never had an issue I have all my shots and so do my two kids I also plan on having this one vaccinated as well I would rather have them have a shot then to possibly die or be in the hospital from something that could have been prevented and or harming someone else because of it. That's just me personally .

None of my children will have any shots. I've never had any my whole life and have gotten chickenpox and normal sickness like any other child and have full immunity now. A vaccine activates an immune system alarm in a baby before it has properly learnt how yo distinguish between what is bad and what is good, that's why they have the mothers milk for the first two years to keep them safe. They are dangerous poisonous chemicals that if given any other way would be child abuse. I just hope that people at least read the inserts before jabbing themselves of their child. At least be properly educated about everything in the shot if you're going to. Then at least you have made a fully educated decision and not just believed everything your doc says.

Alex, PLEASE educate yourself and speak with Drs and others with a medical or pharmacological background. There is so much hogwash about vaccinations supposedly not being safe and an antivaccine movement that has been very loud. You need to get your information from people who study this and dedicate their lives to it. Not someone on a blog site saying they've never had it and never been sick.

I have all my nessesary shots also ive never been sick i have never gotten the flu shot and will never get the flu shot.. my doctor said the tdap shot is not safe while pregnant my SO got the shot because whooping cough went around bad in infants last yr. I will recieve it after baby is born i have let my family and friends know about the shot if they get it they get it i am not worried. Its pretty much a sole decission because i dont believe they do anything and since the flu shot rarely works for people who get it i refuse to shock my body with it or my childrens  but be careful i am lucky to be in canada in the states they are starting to fine people who dont vaccinate there children i have heard
