We have no choice. If my daughters wish to enter 6th grade, I must get the vaccine. The doctor has already begun the pressure, despite not being sure if it is okay for my daughter specifically (who has landed twice in the hospital due to reactions to vaccinations) and not being able to answer my legitimate concerns about the vaccine, it's safety and its efficacy.<BR/><BR/>I've done my research. I've made no decision against, but neither have I blithely, ignorantly, decided for it. I will carefully evaluate it and hope that Perry is overthrown (well totally would be nice but his Order at least) so that my doctor and I can decide what is best and when for my children, specifically.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how health is considered one thing, despite so many variations among individuals, genders, ages, etc.Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.com
