No problems w/ my 3 as well.
My younger 2 did have a delay on receiving the chickpox vaccine. It is a live virus and can be dangerous for those with immunity disorders (like those who are recent Chemo patients) and my mom was going thru Chemo at the time. Top it off with the fact that neither she, myself or my husband have ever had the chickenpox...well we decided to wait a bit.
Then found out that she has rh. arthritis another immune system related disease so we delayed even longer. We didn't get it til my pedi. was absolutely sure that it wouldn't endanger my mothers health.

I'm pretty Pro-Vaccine myself. I don't want MY kids to risk infecting other kids (those unable to take the vaccines due to severe allergies or immune problems or even AGE -newborns) because I just wasn't sure whether to do it or not. I'm all about "vaccinate that child" - imho it will save lives.
