He was double vaccinated because the US does not recognize the immunizations from Russia. That was a tough one to swallow.<br /><br />My family believes in immunizing but DELAYING immunizations until a child is older.<br /><br />Anyway...I could go on and on...this is a very passionate subject for many.<br /><br />Thanks for your post :)<br />-CYMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309599697220709226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-19977793621791515302010-02-23T17:46:51.295-06:002010-02-23T17:46:51.295-06:00My daughter has "stretched" the vaccinat...My daughter has "stretched" the vaccinations- eliminating the Hep C. <br />I am becoming more convinced that plastics in baby bottles that are microwaved could be a source of problem- just a gut feeling.Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-41153056295791148552010-02-23T13:00:31.087-06:002010-02-23T13:00:31.087-06:00My kids have had vaccines on schedule.

The only one we avoided was chicken pox but that was because a doc friend said he didn't trust it would work longterm..... and I trusted a Yale med school graduate. All my kids had chicken pox and were fine with the illness.<br />I wonder if autism/adhd/etc are not truly more prevalent but just more diagnosed. Kids used to be quirky and so be it.
