I'd venture to say that most will tell you to vacinate on the reccomended schedule but they'll be able to point you in the direction of the resources they use to make those decisions. That way you aren't wading through internet junk to get to the 'real' stuff, not the anicdotal evidence. <br /><br />I love what Rebecca said about the friend who prayed about it with each child. Just because you make the decision once doesn't mean you have to stick with it for every child. The Lord knows our children better than we do! Allow him to guide your decisions.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377904088018703670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-4012019851941024142011-04-13T14:11:28.251-07:002011-04-13T14:11:28.251-07:00I actually was at the park today and was talking t...I actually was at the park today and was talking to one of my friends about vaccinations today. I am very pro-vaccination but do not judge those who choose not to. While at the park I was surprised to find out that with one of my friend's kids (he is now 3) chose not to start vaccinating until he was 2 and is spacing them out a lot further than the recommendations. Her 5 and 1 year old she vaccinated on schedule but she told me that she just didn't feel right about it with her second child. She did tons of research and just prayed and prayed and felt very strongly that for whatever reason she needed to wait before starting vaccinations with him.<br /><br />The hard thing with doing research on vaccinations is that you can find almost equal amounts of pros and cons on either side. I always knew I would vaccinate but still did my research and I hated how I'd find one study would show that vaxing is what's best and isn't unsafe at all and another one would show that non-vaxing is safer, etc., etc., etc.!<br /><br />What I'm getting at is that research is helpful, but can also be very confusing. If anyone is on the fence about vaccinating your child my advice would be to do your research and be very prayerful about it...and then you will know what the right decision is for your child. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553317540293366056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310549977743467565.post-12868011865756564222011-04-13T11:59:50.124-07:002011-04-13T11:59:50.124-07:00Lisa, I hear you!

I agree, every family should make the decision best for them, but I hope they study it out like you urge people to do.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187035189911769457noreply@blogger.com
