my son's 4 year old well visit is coming up next Friday, and I'm scared about the vaccines. They say he needs 3 (dtap, polio, and mmr) all at one time. I'm thinking of spliting them up-letting him get 1 on friday and the other one's spaced a few months apart. What are your thoughts? Both my girls are exempt from vaccines because of immune problems but I am not convinced that they have no role whatsoever with the rise in autism..to say I totally believe the government and pharmaceutical companies are telling the truth about them just aint happening. Sorry, I wish I had a better answer...I would space them out and make sure NO thermerosil is in any of them..ask to see the label to make sure-don't take their word for it..JMHO Shelley I am worried about this too. My son is 3 now but when it comes time for his vaccinations at 4, I am just going to have to be really cautious. I think spacing them out is the best idea.. I think for the MMR you can ask for mumps, then measles, then rubella. Does anyone know if theres a way to make your child exempt from the 4 year vaccines? Well, thanks for starting this post. Im anxious to see the responses.nakama I said no to the shots at the 4 year old visit. Normally, the second round shots can be given between age 4 and 6, so take your time to research and think about it before you decide anything. nupur My son just turned five and will be going to Kindergarten in the fall. I have put off the four year shots to this point, but I am going to have to do something in the next few months. I am really hesitant to do further immunization on him, even though I am not convinced either way on the autism-immunization issue. Took a bit because I had to search for it but here it is..it may be of interest for this topic.

Also here is another website that has the mercury calculator It' s the national vaccination information website.
Karrie Our ABA therapist informed me her mom faked all the doc's signature on their vaccine record because she was so against them.They also ate only organic foods and never any sugar Shelley I am totally holding off on vaccines for now. He isn't in school yet and I'm not sure we will do more vaccines. I'll have to figure it out for preschool next year though. I'll have his titers checked so I can hopefully avoid another mmr.It isn't only the mercury issue as I understand it. It is also the issue of the vaccines overloading the immune system and the body responding by causing inflammation and possibly neurological problems. You do not have to go through a process to have your child exempted from getting vaccinated. There is a spot on the vaccination sheet to sign saying you object to having the vaccinations for personal/religious reasons. But if there is ever an outbreak at the childs school (mumps for example) then your child will not be able to attend until the outbreak is done. As a parent you have the right to decided what YOUR child will or will not have put into their bodies. First, if you have insurance, I would ask your doctor to do a titers test on all of them. If they won't allow you to wait till your child enters Kindergarten to provide them with the proof of vaccinations...you can either get an exemption or ask for an extention. If you go onto the CDC website, it specifically states that THE ONLY REASON why they administer the MMR to children for entrance into Kindergarten is because 2-5% of the population did not develop an immunity to the first MMR given b/w 12-18mos. It is not a "booster." Seriously. So they just do a blanket vaccination of everyone. The funniest part about this is that many schools only require you to get the Measles vaccination, not the MMR. However, you have to take it upon yourself to find a doctor willing to split up the vaccinations. (Measles Mumps and Rubella - that is 3 vaccines in the MMR) Same with the DTap. I bet you could eliminate the MMR just by doing a titers. Both of my children had elevated titer levels showing immunity for the MMR. http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vaccine/mmr/mmr-faqs-hcp.htm#Vac3
Here is a guide to those who should not get the vaccines - if your child has any of this, you may be able to get the doc to provide a medical exemption that can be approved by the county health department - http://www.cdc.gov/nip/recs/contraindications.htm Side effects to vaccines: http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vaccine/side-effects.htm#mmr You can also visit http://www.909shot.com/ for more info and if you want more state specific info you can go to http://www.909shot.com/state-site/state-exemptions.htm
Yes, look into what exemptions your state offers; religious, medical, and/or philosophical. Rarely will a doctor give a medical exemption and I've read that philosophical ones are fought and often don't hold up. I have a religious exemption on file for my school aged son (although I didn't do any research until my son was found to have autism. Once I did, I said a big HELL NO to anymore vaccines. I can't believe that I wasn't responsible enough to look into it myself. I trusted the docs and what they said, but these are my kids...) Anyway - don't do it because of what anyone else says. You are not a bad mom because you do or because you won't. We do what's best for our kids per our own experiences and opinions. |

Not sure you could do that now on records as that was over 25 years ago! Very interesting how none of her siblings came down with measles, mumps, chic pox! heck I got all of these and I am still alive but some of these vaccines really erk me
Why give a hours old newborn Hep-b vaccine (blood born virus) that can only be gotten by blood-to-blood transmission ex: meaning sex, needles, blood transfusion ect... It is so mind boggling
