It was not a good visit at all.. not only was my son pretty darn near forced retracted but I was also told " You need to march yourself down to the Health Dept to get his shots"
We stopped vaccinating with my youngest with his first Hep B. The others have not had any more shots. We haven't done any shots in almost 2 years.
And of course, during the wellness visit, the question of vaxes came up. Usually I just say they are up to date but things were really crazy (my almost-2 yo was having a melt down) and I wasn't thinking clearly. I mistakenly said, no they aren't when she asked if they were up to date. ugh..
Her argument TO vax was that there are a lot of Chicken plants around the area and there are a large amount of Hispanics, many of which are "illegal" and could bring stuff into the area.
: ALL HER WORDS. Not mine. ARE YOU KIDDING!? Wow.. never heard that one on the news.. It's always been the un-vaccinated fault that there are outbreaks, right? :
What on Earth does any of that have to do with vaccines!? Do you know?
I see more Hispanic families at the health dept getting care and vaccinations than clean white families. Seems to me they vaccinate like everyone else? I still can not even believe she said that.
So.. have any good explainations as to why she would use the "chicken plants and Hispanics" as a valid reason to vaccinate?
