Vaccine Info

This is a very involved topic and can seem overwhelming...

Here is what I always suggest:

1. Find out what the next set of vaccines is that your child will be getting.
a. Research the diseases that those are for
1. What are the symptoms?
2. What is the treatment
3. What is the complication rate?
4. Chances of contracting the disease in the first place
5. How is the disease contracted and how at ridsk is your child
6. What is the death rate of the disease?
2. Decide if you are still worried about the disease
a. If not - Skip the vaccine
b. If you are - Research the vaccine
1. What are the ingredients and what do the do?
2. VAERS reports - What are the reactions
3. What is sthe reaction rate
4. Is the reaction treatable?
5. What is the death rate from the vaccine
3. Weigh the disease against the vaccine and decide which you are more comfortable with.
4. Move on to the next set of vaccines.

If you are looking into the CDC's information, I highly suggest moving past the info for parents page and go stright for the CDC Pink BooK...yu can google it. It does not contain the same parents page propaganda. It has the real information.

This method breaks it down into bite sized pieces for you.

Hope this helps."

Also I tihnk its important to do a deep down search to FIND OUT how truly effective each vaccine is!!! You can find some of that info on VARES. You would be surprised to find out how many peoplecan still get a certain diseases even though they were vaxed for it. "VACCINATION DOESNT EQUAL IMMUNIZATION"
