Can I stop vax?  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I have battled with the vax issue since before dd was born. We decided to vax selectively and/or delay. I did not want her to have the hep b because I think it is ridiculous to vaccinate her against that. She did not get it at birth. At her 2 month visit I told the ped that we were not getting hep B. She told me it was mixed in with the others--this was a new ped, we had just moved. Before I knew it, dh got three shots. We both left the office in tears and when I got home I realized that the hep b was not mixed in, it was seperate. I was so mad!
I am very torn on this issue, I have read so much and I am both scared of vax and scared not to vax. I finally decided to do it bc Dr. Sears is in favor and so far I have valued his other suggestions/ parenting style.
I guess my question is, now that dd is almost 4 months, are there ill affects of not continuing with vax? I definitely don't want her to get more of hep b--still not sure about the others. I just don't know if the "unfinished" vax can be harmful.

No such thing as finishing a series. Stop now. The less harmful ingredients injected into your baby's bloodstream the better.

I totally agree. It's never harmful to stop and you can choose to stop at any time.

No harm in stopping.

Get yourself a big glass of water and a comfortable chair and start reading here. There are tons of good links to every sort of information about vaccines. Start reading and researching. Don't let anyone pressure you into anything until you are 100% comfortable.

good luck!
