Mamas & Papas: any good suggested reading or websites about immunizing children? I am completely against giving my children any medication, but having a pretty tough time convincing my children’s father. To appease him, we took our 2 year old to the doctor today (for a cough), and the doctor wants to give him his 24 month immunization shots. I know to get into schools he will need it, but I am SO conflicted. I will not be home schooling. I also refused a prescription for antibiotics, and now I’m being called crazy & they’re afraid I’m harming my son! I just want to read up & become a little more knowledgeable about the subject.

Thanks guys for all the info!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’m certainly trying!
I’m not 100% raw, but i do have a seven month old that we decided to vaccinate because No you do not need to have vaccines to get into school, but Yes you do need them and will WANT them if you are ever going to travel the world because things like polio are rampamt their. I also had an older brother that died when he was six months old from something that he could’ve been vaccinated against. So yes there are horror stories about those vaccinated, but there are also horror stories about those who weren’t I am pregnant again with my second child and now that i have been through it once i have decided that vaccinating was the right decsion, but that not so early in life. Also, it sounds like you had already started your sons vaccines. If that is true i think you should just go ahead and finish. Also please don’t try to use the scare tactic on your husband. i think that is just wrong, let him look up the information himself…don’t only show him the bad side. The thing on vaccines and autism is a huge debate: One experiment was thought to be not reliable, and they haven’t been able to support the mans theories yet, also it was thought to be caused by the mercury in the vaccines which is now being very tightly controlled. Please remeber to that almost every single one of us “adults” has had our vaccines and are no worse for the wear.i have researched vaccines because of having a child, orginally we weren’t going to but after learning all i could i felt that by vaccinating her i can protect her better and literally open the world to her. As a last note someone just recently told me they were going to try and vaccinate their son by using a homeopathic? oral method that you might want to try and look up on. P.S whatever you decide will be the best choice for your family.
