Awesome ped appt. - you'll never guess what he said!

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
So today I took my baby for her 2 month check-up. Our pediatrician is very cool with non-vaxing. At the end of the checkup, he just asked "So no shots today, right?" And I said "Right." He said "Oh good, that makes my job so easy. I am so sick of giving shots. I think that's all I do sometimes is give shots."

Then he mentioned how it us even worse now, with all the flu shots, etc.

Then I told him how I am always posting vaccine articles on Facebook and one of my friends just posted how he had a very bad reaction to his flu shot. The doctor asked if he could "friend" me on Facebook so he could read my vaccine articles!!!

Love it.

Thought I would share a positive pediatrician story here. Perhaps the over-aggressive vaccine schedule is starting to get to the peds. Great to see them questioning it!

Do you mind giving the name of your ped? I live in Michigan and am wondering if he is in the Detroit area.

Thanks!

For anyone interested, he is located just outside of Ann Arbor. I'll PM his contact info to anyone who wants it.

Great story! My ds' doctor is in Grand Rapids, and refuses to give vaccinations. We are so lucky to have found him!

well I'm just thoroughly jealous. Mine doesnt even give the shots themselves, they have a nurse do it after they leave the room! I was disappointed the first time I found out my doc wouldn't even be present when baby had his first shot! (I started out selective & delay vax) and now I'm wondering, is that normal or not? I'd really like to know - see my other thread Im taking a poll
