Avoiding 12 month shots...can we be around vaxed kids?

[sbgrace]

We are going to at least postpone the 12 month shots (any suggestions there...I am a little uncomfortable with not doing it to be honest...but I am unsure of the effects and so I am delaying). In the 12 month shots here are MMR and chicken pox. We have friends with other 12 month old kids...do we avoid them and if so how long?

The only vaccine known to sheds is the chicken pox.


No, you don't need to avoid any other child, vaccinated or unvaccinated. And btw your child is always exposed to vaccinated children.

Do not worry about it at all.

If you would vaccinate the child, he would get the viruses via the blood into his system, which btw is the worst way. The immunity that is built in a haste is superficial immunity which starts to wane soon and is pretty much gone in 10 yr.

At that time the child is again vulnerable to get the childhood disease, and so on...

If, on the other hand, your child is exposed to a vaccinated child and the vaccine sheds, your child might get the viruses via the saliva, which is the natural way disease should enter the body.

In that manner the virus encounters all the natural filters that the body has along the way and starts the process of creating antibodies.

By the time the viruses reaches the blood they are either decrepit or dead.
The child though builds deep to the core immunity that lasts (presumably) a life time.



The oral polio vax also sheds but it's no longer given in the Western hemisphere, since it caused more polio than not vaccinating at all.

So we've sent it to Africa. It doesn't bother us there!
