[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 366995"] My uyoungest is not vaccinated due to cardiac issues (his cardiologist recc'ed I didn't vaccinate him, so did his neonatologist because he was premature as well). He had pertussis and was treated allopathically and came out just fine from it. He's 3 now, still un-vaxed as I have a medical exemption for him. All my kids are currently unvaxed (4 oldest have some of their vaxes though). Funny thing is, my youngest is my healthiest even though he's a cardiac patient and has all his titers (antibodies) for all the childhood diseases. I get his titers checked every year. My four oldest who were vax'ed for MMR all got mumps (oldest 4 times) and measles even though they were vaccinated for it. My youngest still has not had Chicken Pox even though there was an outbreak earlier this year too - a big one. 10 kids living in the complex with us all got chicken pox (my 4 older had it when he was still in utero) and he still didn't get it and he played with all those kids pre-cp bumps and post.
