Childcare and immunization

[Bernard.Manny.Fran]

Hate to say it but no, I don't think that your reasons for not vaxxing were valid. Recurrent ear and tonsil infections are not a reason to not vaccinate. And you say that you also won't vaccinate your next child to schedule. What are your reasons for that?

OP, no you can't win and you also can't have an opinion. Don't you know bubhub is also known as the 'I don't vaccinate' forum. Yes lots of us here do vaccinate but most people have given up arguing

Just quickly, my son is now up to schedule but was quite delayed with his vaxxes. Not by choice either. For similar reasons to Izys son.

My son was never well enough to get his vaxes, he had constant infections, mostly ear, meaning constant high temps. Thus, my doc only vaxxed him slowly as he was never temp free long enough.

Is that not valid?!

If you have a doctor's letter or CO form, you still get CCB.

I want to know why people feel they have a right to say whether it's valid or not.

No where in australia is it legal for children to be excluded from anything based on their vaccination status. (provided the government has been notified of what their status is)

?

Unfortunately this is not entirely true, whilst I doubt any high quality service would exclude children on this basis there were some services on the sunshine coast who were successful in excluding children who were not vaxxed.

I've read it all, the official documentation, the medical journals, the alternative views and the 'quackery' and for me it is about risk assessment, my risk assessment led me to make a decision not to vax. Yes, in many cases vaxxing reduces the risk of catching the disease but the chance of catching one of these diseases and suffering harm is negligible, given my circumstances my child would have been extremely unlucky to suffer harm. I know measles is probaly not a great example as it has been drastically reduced but the notification rate for measles is around 3-5 in a million and the hospitalisation of those 3-5 in a million is less than 1%.
However if I vaxxed my child I would have had a 100% chance of having toxic ingredients such as aluminium, formaldehyde, polysorbate and who knows what else placed directly into their blood streams.

The only vax I considered was for whooping cough but was unable to get a single vax.
I've also worked in centres and have never seen an incidence of a vpd other than gastro that was suspected rotavirus on a number of occasions and to be entirely honest I wondered if a child who had recently recieved their rotavirus vax may have been to blame.

Was our reason valid? The only reason she caught up with WC is because she was a toddler when she went to cc, and had not yet had others. She had hep b at birth but not vit k.

Sorry I don't really understand whether your child is up to date with vaxes now? If they were truly constantly sick with temps how were you able to send them to CC?
Seriously, I do understand how difficult it is to get your child vaxed when they are sick all the time. My baby didn't get her 4 month ones till 9 months for that reason. But to delay for years or not vax their next child like the PP said, no I don't think that is valid.
