[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 465937, member: 6705"] I have mixed feelings on vaccinations - but... We made 100% sure that Onyxx & Jett had all the required vaccinations - TDAP & MMR are the ones I remember. They also got the chickenpox vaccine. No smallpox, which I think is interesting. I got that one as a baby, but I guess it's no longer required. ANYWAY - My Mom [I]swears[/I] I had the chickenpox vaccine as a child (1970s), though it wasn't actually available until 1995 - at which point I didn't even live with my parents anymore. And I've had the chickenpox multiple times. Mild cases every.single.time. My doctor is baffled. I've asked for the vaccine, because I can just see getting it again (though perhaps I'm finally immune, as I haven't had it since I was about 28). doctor won't, because I've had it. Ugh! I don't bother with flu shots. I know, I know, I know. The kids get them - insurance covers it, and it ensures I take less time off work, and they miss less school. Now - if I [I]do[/I] ever get pregnant - YES, I WILL. HPV vaccine. I have some issues with this one, simply because it has not been around long enough for us to really know. I don't think this one should be mandated. Anything communicable by casual contact - coughing, sneezing, etc. - yes. But this one... No. That said, Onyxx has had it - bio took care of it because she told Onyxx that she had had cancer while pregnant with her (really? She wasn't treated for it...). Matters not what the reason was, for Onyxx, it was probably a VERY GOOD IDEA. [/QUOTE]
