[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 649850, member: 4152"] When do they give the MMR? When I was a kid they gave me the so called (at the time) "three 'n one" vaccination shot. I think it might have been the MMR. I took the shot calmly. Five minutes later, I was in the waiting room waiting for another family member to finish their appointment. when I felt dizzy and sick. I hit my head on the wall when I blacked out and fell to the floor. The doctor came and it took a fe minutes to revive me. His face was just as ashen as mine. Claimed I "breathed wrong" while the shot was given. WTH?????? Well, I have a seriously messed up immune system with lupus and what not and I always wondered about that shot. Generally speaking, I'm OK, really fine, with childhood vaccinations, BUT, why the heck give three shots to a child at the same time? Doesn't this sound stupid? Why tax a child's system like this??? It sounds dangerous....anybody else see this??? As an adult, I haven't gotten the flu shot etc., but may reconsider when I am much older. I do wonder about it's effectiveness and am thrilled I did NOT get it this year. (Said to be particularly ineffective this year). Really wish they would NOT put aluminum and other dangerous ingredients in the shot. Again, haven't taken it yet, but something I have considered. AND...I do NOT trust any doctor who says it is ok to take the flu and pneumonia shot at the same time. I just think it is stupid...pushing your luck big time. Common sense seems to be no where to be found. I did ask difficult child to get the HPV shot. Why? 1. It covers the two strains that can cause cervical cancer. There are only two strains that tend to cause cancer and it covers those two...the most important ones to cover. 2. She is a difficult child and therefore less likely to insist on protection (prophylactic) that would help HELP prevent the transmission of the virus. If she wasn't a difficult child, I may of thought differently. It's a judgement call based on the circumstances, etc. [/QUOTE]
