my kids had every vaccine they gave out.
i looked on it this way. once we had polio, cholera and a host of other diseases which are still rife in the third world, even more so back then.
remember the spanish flu outbreak that killed approx 20 mill people. well i believe that while all those influenza shots won't stop another such outbreak it will help. certain antibodies will be passed from mum to child and so on. the shots my kids had on one occasion caused my eldest a bit of distress, nut if you asked me would i make her have them again i'd say yes.
i believe the vaccines do much more good than bad. without them i also believe we would be at the level of some 3rd world countries where communicable disease is concerned.
if you lived in the congo would you have a cholera shot, if so why?
