My opinion is of course for another email....but one thing I constantly think of is this world is so modern and forward moving. We are a globalized. I could be accross the world in a few short hours. So, our children will most likely mingle, at some time in their life, with people of other cultures, beliefs, practices, health beliefs, poverty, etc. Many many people accross the world get many childhood disease US children don't, such as Measles, Mumps, Reubella, Chicken Pox, Whooping Cough, etc. <BR/>Since we don't know what this mass globilzation will to do the epidemiology of the world, and we don't have a handle on how viruses and some bacteria mutate (TB, Influenze, HIV, etc), I feel it is a good idea to vaccinate. <BR/>I'm wrong a lot. I hope I'm not wrong here.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964368243113634718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-15684396824578992992009-03-06T13:29:00.000-07:002009-03-06T13:29:00.000-07:00Hey Delia, I thought the same thing about chicken ...Hey Delia, I thought the same thing about chicken pox- not being able to get them once you've had them, but I think that the same holds true for the vaccine, and then you are spared all the awful side-effects. And, you can always get shingles if you've had chicken pox, where you can't if you've had the vaccine...I think?.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161598687324879363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-59016401313557250732009-03-06T11:54:00.000-07:002009-03-06T11:54:00.000-07:00That is an interesting thought.

It bothers me when some parents do not vaccinate their children for things that protect against illnesses like whooping cough. Which is why we have seen a resurgence of such illnesses. But...chicken pox might be good to get since once you get it you most likely won't get it again. I will keep thinking about this one.
