Forums >Off the Beaten Path>Why don't you vaccinate your kids?
Hey, nice marmot!
Vaccines are such a contentious topic.
Why don't we discuss something more lighthearted?
How about: Circumcision: Horrific Genital Mutilation or Public Health Godsend?

hey, purdey - c'mon now - the truth is that in that debacle of bureaucracy that is socialized medicine in britain, by the time a kid gets to the front of the line for a vaccine, he's ready for his A levels.

you're a bit scary.
My DH has had shingles and several flare-ups of it - nasty, painful.
His cousin and brother picked up chicken pox as adults - they were very sick.
Now that I know there is a shingles vaccine (and how does that work if you are already infected with the real deal?), I'll try to get him to get it. He's afraid of needles tho....the wuss.
Can we move onto circumcision now?

how does that work if you are already infected with the real deal?
It boosts your immunity, which likely drops over time.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

It is not given to babies. My daughter is 12, and she'll get the vaccine in a year or so. It's a conversation you should have with your children's pediatrician.
Yes, it is. Hep b vax is given to newborns. I had to sign a paper to refuse it for each of my babies.

behind? vaccines? hahahahaha! yeah.
One day at a time
That's when my doctor recommended it.
i thought maybe it was something about the vaccine only working if administered precisely when one ages to 60 and seeing as how i was born at 12:15AM (<-- caps!) this was maybe going to be a bit of a hassle.
