One that cuts rather close to home this week. Kayleigh is totally against immunizations. I am totally for them. So I figured lets get us all involed, lol So, do you immunize? Have you considered not doing? Why did you chose to do (or not) to immunize? Have you regretted your choice in the matter? |

I did immunise Tam - and havent regretted it for a moment - especially seeing as mumps, measles and rubella are on the rise again because some parents chose not to. I was lucky as well when i got her jabs - they were doin the meningitis vaccine trials and she was part of the trial group. I know there have been a lot of scares about the mmr vaccine possibly maybe causing autism lately - but althou it was something to think about - seeing the children who hadnt had the vaccine and then caught measles/mumps/rubella - that was enough to make me realise that yes i had made the right choice - and no-one was gonna make me feel like i hadnt. I had them - and i had nothing - apart from chickenpox - tam so far has had nothing at all. |

So, do you immunize? I've had all mine immunised. Have you considered not doing? Never Why did you chose to do (or not) to immunize? Because despite the unsubstantiated claims of chrones and autism, not getting them immunised is a far greater risk. My cousins child died because of German Measels. TB is on the increase in this country because of all the foreign nationals bringing it in. New cases of polio have been diagnosed in the last few years. I'd rather bring my own child up then have to send them to a sanitorium to be fixed / cured. A TB victim needs to be isolated, how would my child feel if I had to do that to her cause I'm listening to bollox about immunisations. Have you regretted your choice in the matter? No! |

So, do you immunize?Yes Have you considered not doing?No Why did you chose to do (or not) to immunize?because like Noel says all the foreign nationals bringing TB into the country plus I live her in Spain its the same here so its a must plus I still dont think there is enough substance to the allegations of links between crohns disease and autism that can be caused by the vaccines Have you regretted your choice in the matter?Not for one minute |

So, do you immunize? Yes my kids have all had theirs. Have you considered not doing? No. Why did you chose to do (or not) to immunize? Because I saw my sister become very very ill with measles, and she'd had the jab. She also had viral meningitis.There is no need for our kids to suffer these nasty and sometimes fatal diseases these days. Have you regretted your choice in the matter? Not for a moment. But Nikki's mercury info freaked me a bit. language=javascript>var bMB=true;</SCRIPT> language=javascript id=OVScript src="http://cmhtml.msn.overture.com/d/search/p/msn/js/communities/en-gb/?Partner=msn_grpdir_uk&maxCount=3&mkt=uk&ctxtId=106&type=106"></SCRIPT> language=javascript></SCRIPT> ></SCRIPT> |

Apparently... that report was ripped to shreds recently and the doctor who wrote it has been discredited...  |

When my first two lads were small, I never questioned the vaccinations, I took them along and they had the works. With my youngest, I took him along, and had this terrible sense of something not being right, I turned and walked out the clinic, I don't know what it was, nor why, but I've never let him have anything, something tells me not to. He is the only one out of my three thats never had anything serious wrong (unrelated by the way) |

So, do you immunize? All my kids have had their jabs. Have you considered not doing? In fact my eldest didn't have his final whooping cough jab because he had had a febrile convulsion and I was advised not, but didn't stop me getting the others done. Why did you chose to do (or not) to immunize? Because I saw the children I used to babysit for as a teenager go through whooping cough and it was awful for them. Have you regretted your choice in the matter? Nope - it seems like there will always be scaremongering with jabs for small children, in the same way as there is with additives in food, flouride in toothpaste etc. etc. I think in the end you just have to make your decision based on the information available. |

Emily has had all of her jabs - I read all of the information about them that I could get my hands on, and decided myself that the risks from the injections themselves were minimal in comparison to the risk of Emily catching one of the awful illnesses and suffering in the long term. She was fine after all of them - she didn't even get the high temperature that the Health Visitor said she might get. I would always immunise, unless there was concrete proof that the risks from the jabs were higher and/or more serious than the illnesses. When I was a child, I saw a few of my friends suffer from Whooping Cough, and there is a high instance of TB in Manchester as there is a large Asian community who visit their home country where TB is rife, and not all of their children are immunized, I also suffered from Measles, German Measles and Mumps as a child and none of them were pleasant! I've never regretted my choice - I've done my best to protect my child, and made all of the decisions based on the information I could get! |

Both Nikki and Kieran had all their relevant jabs before we adopted them and I have kept them up to date since, even if they had been natural born to me, they would have had all their jabs, I would have never given it a second thought. Since I have been on methotrexate, I have had jabs (when needed) for mengi-coccal, pneumo-coccal and a regular flu jab because of lowered immunity. I had measles as a child and suffered burst ear-drums, I also had whooping cough when I was 3 because my mum chose not to have me vaccinated, I would not want a child to go through either of these diseases So, I'm for immunising and would not regret making that decision |
