Do you/will you vaccinate your child?

Question

PLEASE tell me your reasons.

No fighting, please be respectful.

Accepted Answer

Yes because the arguments against vaccination are based on discredited evidence. I'm not putting my child in danger because of a conspiracy theory.

Answer

I worked in a pediatric office for years. There's a lot more positive outcomes from vaccinating than not. I've seen the kids come in who's parents decided to forgo the vaccine and I've watched babies cry in pain from measles and us putting the whole office in quarantine. I've watched toddler struggle to breathe while we call the squad to life flight them to the hospital because their mom didn't believe in pertussis. In my mind it's not even a question. There's so much good data and outcomes from vaccines. The bad stuff on vaccines is typically YouTube videos.

Answer

Yes. Because people who CAN'T get vaccinated for MEDICAL reasons deserve to be protected too!..

Answer

Very very selectively and only later on. There's absolutely no reason in my circumstance to give my 12 hour old infant a hep b shot.

Answer

I grew up in a medical family and saw/heard about what happens when a child is not vaccinated. So most of them I will do. However, some smaller ones like chickenpox, I won't do.

Answer

ABSOLUTELY.

Answer

My three children have their shots, I didn't even think of not giving it to them. The only one I didn't give them is the yearly flu shot

Answer

One of my nurses has not vaccinated her son at all, and he stays sick. They have told her to vaccinate him and she won't. I will not allow her to bring her son over to play with my son.

Answer

My uncle had polio when he was a child and the pain he suffered relentlessly throughout his life is nothing I'd want my worst enemy to have. He didn't go a day without wanting to end his life because he suffered so much and it was hard on the entire family to help him cope. There is absolutely no way I won't vaccinate my children and honestly if anybody isn't vaccinated by choice, they aren't coming around my family...PERIOD.

Answer

We do all vaccines except flu shot. We didn't want the chicken pox but the doc did it anyways for my daughter. Was not happy but so far she gas been good
