This is such a hot topic and a timely one because of all the controversy of what the vaccinations may be doing to our children.
My husband and I chose not to vaccinate our children. Dr. Tenpenny , Dr. Mercola, Dr. Rima (you can look them all up on the internet) have
done a lot of research and lobbying against vaccinations. My husband and I started out with this information and felt that we would wait until the children were 2 yrs old before starting the vac's protocol. Then when our first child hit two, she was so healthy and we did not have her in daycare but in-home care that we chose not to do it because of all the controversy, we did not want to be responsible for making a choice that could harm the lifetime health of our child and felt there was more risk in giving her vaccinations then allowing her own immune system to be responsible for her health (and of course, we were not exposing her to other children in the day care setting). When our 2nd child was born, the same thing. We allowed the vitamin k shot in the hospital because we had not considered it a vaccination and didn't think about any consequences. Our 2nd child developed extreme colic and jaundice and suffered with this until she was two years old because by then we figured out what could be the cause and took alternative healing action to mitigate it, she is fine now (Dr. Mercola has much to say about the vitamin k shot).
Our 3rd child was recently born (now 6 months old) and because of our experience with the 2nd child we chose to opt out of the vitamin k shot at the time of birth - instead I gave him sublingual vitamin k from the health food store and we had no issues. He has not had any colic, upset tummy stuff and has had the easiest time eating and sleeping without disruption. We can't say if this is because we didn't do the vita-k shot but it is an interesting coincidence.
In all, we felt that waiting until 2 yrs old gave our children's immune system time to develop and actually take advantage of the immunity that the vac's are supposed to be helping with. After our first child reached 2 yrs old we felt that we could wait until near school age. Then, as she reached that age we decided that there was still too much controvery and that we only wanted the basic vac's (mmr, dtp,etc). We were told by the school district that once we started the vac's protocol we had to do them all because in Arizona once you give one vac to your child you are no longer eligible to claim exemption for personal reasons with the State (the state of Arizona and many other State's allow you to claim personal reasons for not administering vaccinations and they have to allow the child to attend school). So, it was all or nothing so we chose nothing. We have many other alternative health options, Naturopathic Medical Doctor's have other ways of helping your body build the immune system and have greater immunity all around. We also use the BCX Ultra Rife Frequency machine (which works great on everything from colds, flu, fever, strep throat, etc). Look into this subject for yourself, there is so much information out there. Go with your gut, each parent has to make peace with their decision and taking responsibility for your child's health is a big responsibility. Even if you get vaccinations, it doesn't "protect" them against illness like the one's I previously listed so having an alternative health care practitioner can make all the difference in your child's state of health and the health of their immune system which in my mind is a greater guard against illness!
