Talk to me about the MMR and Varicella

[nikki_0724]

I've been doing my research on vaccines and I had a nice little notebook of info going from books I have checked out from the library. Today I went to reach for that book as we have an appt. with a new pedi tomorrow and I cant find it I cant get to the library that has the books I ahve read before my appt. My older two are almost 5 and UTD I believe on their shots. My almost 2 year old is not. I believe that MMR and Varicella are the vaccines he needs but i cant find his record for the life of me. (we moved a few months back and everything is still out of order ) Im skipping the Varicella bc I would rather him get Chicken Pox and have a chance at life long immunity then have to get a vaccine every 10 years I was pressured into this vaccine with my 5 year olds and I have still not forgiven myself for it. The MMR I just have a gut feeling about but I want to have more to stand on them a gut feeling if I need to when we are at the Dr. tomorrow. I with I had a better memory then I do so I could have just retained the info I read but sadly thats not the case. Can someone post a link that has the info or similar info to the Dr. Sears book. I found that to be the easiest to understand but at this point I will take anything. I just want to be prepared for this appt tom. if I need to be

Nothing bad is going to happen if your kids don't get shots tomorrow. The worst thing you can do is make a hasty decision or be pressured into a vaccine you aren't 100% confident in. You can always give a vaccine, but you can never take one back. You don't need to convince your doctor of anything. Just say that you will make a separate appointment for shots when you are ready. Take all the time you need to finish your research.

No vaccines will be given tomorrow or any time soon I just wanted to be able to be able to have a conversation with the dr and sound like I know what Im taking about. I had a ton of notes and knew my reasons but due to a bad memory and now lack of notes I dont have my reasons listed in front of more.

If you want to be non confrontational just say because of the move you can't locate their shot records right now, but you think you know where they are in storage and once you get them you guys can talk about vaxes.
