My Baby is Getting Immunized?

I have a little one myself. We've decided to wait until my little one is 2 years old to receive shots (if any). The doctors really push the issue of shots but honestly the shots they give babies are the same shots that are required if you're traveling abroad like Africa and such places.

Allow your baby to build her own immune system. The shots consist of them getting the virus, for example the chicken pox shot, the actually give you the virus, MMR, the same thing... It's like asking to fight a battle without enemies. Nothing is attacking your baby so why send her to battle.

ultimately is up to you.. For us, we've decided to wait it out and do more research..

Hope it helped

If she has a fever you should wait because vaccines can cause fever. Which can make the fever she has worse, it also means you can't tell what is causing the fever.

You should also look at the side effects of the vaccines you are receiving and see if any of the other side effects could be masked or made worse by your daughter's cold.

I will tell you that veterinarians will not vaccinate any animal with a fever or an open wound, and they do not have a government agency pushing them to vaccinate nor do they get bonuses for vaccination. In fact many vets make very little money on the actual vaccines because they are more expensive than human ones for many reasons.

Here is a list of most of the vaccine names and manufacturers that are currently used in the US:

I have a UK list around here somewhere I will dig up if you need it.

Personally I delay all vaccines until at least age two. There are many reasons for this, but I can't tell you that it is the right or wrong decision. I have done a lot of research and I find reliable facts to be sadly lacking. You might be interested in this study about autism, its relatively well conducted: http://www.generationrescue.org/survey.html

I read that too, and I know I would wait... regardless of what the dr. said. If it was ok to wait till now, it will be ok to wait a little longer.

if they have no fever it is fine. my daughter had a SLIGHT ear infection, runny nose, and cough and she still had her 2 yr shots. i asked why it was ok, and he said as long as there is no fever and she is not extremely sick, and since her ear infection was not worse. ask them to look her over before the shots to be sure, but she should be fine with just a cold

as long as they dont have a fever its ok... my daughter got her 18 months shots with a bad cold. as long as they dont have a fever, the nurse said its ok.

I really would wait. I would rather be safe than sorry.

Why ask your dr. a question and not trust your dr. If the dr. says it's fine then it probably is and if you don't trust the judgement then find a new dr.
