What's the deal with vaccination, really?

My friend just e-mailed me frantically because her boss told her that she shouldn't have vaccinated her 7 months old twins. Her boss don't even have kids, I don't; think. She must have heard it somewhere that the new thing is not do it.

What is going on, exactly? I know that you shouldn't have them get 4 shots at a time, but rather split them up, and also to make sure that the doctor draws the liquid from an individual capsule but not to vaccinate at all? Isn't it scary? I know this has been a very controversial issue and frankly, it makes me very confused.

What is everyone's take on this?

i definitlythink you should vaccinate your children, not just for the safety of your own child but for others as well. i personally feel very strongly against vaccinating with thimerisol perserved vaccines but splitting up the shots and watching whats in them alleviates my worries. good luck!

My children are vaccinated. I delayed the shots and I also won't let them get more than 2 at a time.

My neighbor does not vaccinate her children and her daughter has had rubella and also once they thought she had the measles but it turned out to be something different.

I thought about not vaccinating but with all the immigrants bringing things into this country that are preventable I decided to vaccinate.
