On the last visit, they tried to sell me on Chicken Pox, MRSA and HPV vaccines.<BR/><BR/>My daughter even noticed the hard sell, and commented on how the doctor and nurses didn't hear me say 'no, thanks' to all of them.<BR/><BR/>I figure my kids are relatively clean and have been taught to keep good hygiene, they haven't had an major health issues, and have no genetic pre-disposition to any of those diseases. I didn't see a good reason to have them immunized for those. Finally, I said they can have a booster shot for Tetanus, and that kept them satisfied that I'm not totally neglecting my kids. lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914583.post-87231816602749617942008-07-24T14:46:00.000-05:002008-07-24T14:46:00.000-05:00Well, obviously this is something that I am quite ...Well, obviously this is something that I am quite passionate about. The biggest concern for me right now is the mass immunizations against Chicken Pox. We are seeing a huge surge in Shingles now (even in children, which was unheard of a few decades ago), because adults who have had the disease aren't getting "boosters" by regular exposure to wild cases. This applies to nearly every "germ" in our environment - our immune systems aren't getting the "boosts" that they need from our environment. I recently read another blog which blamed the rising asthma cases to modern air pollution. However, I don't agree because if you look at historical evidence in areas such as Glasgow, Scotland, which had MASSIVE air pollution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they still didn't have the number of new cases that we are seeing today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
