We elected to have our daughter, Nicole, vaccinated last year (at 15) after a mutual discussion of the pros and cons. She has had no side effects at all.
It wasn't meant to be a "scare tactic" post. It was on the news and I like heath related stuff so I posted it. There are all kinds of pros and cons to vaccines. Just like all the people who think autism is related to vaccines. Some adverse affects aren't known for years, some right away, sometimes there aren't any, etc....Just a topic for discussion. I got the swine flu vaccine back in the 70's which kind of turned out to be a mess! My kids both reacted to the DPT shots and were not given the whole series of shots because of it.
