thought long and hard (cliche)about this vaccine. About having my two teens get it...the two younger ones haven’t yet...what sold me was boys carrying the virus, and their doctor, a friend, recommending it.

I think (hope) I have the luxury of a couple more years with my youngings.

In the end, I want to do the right thing, not sure what it is, but it helps knowing others also struggle with it.

Exactly.

I don’t know what the right thing to do is either. I followed the recommendation from their doctor who is a friend. I know it wasn’t about money for him. He’s a friend and is their doctor. Our kids are friends. We socialize.

I struggled with it. Sorta made me think about my parents...and how they struggled with the polio, mmr, etc. vaccines. And, my two oldest got chicken pox so when that vaccine came out, it didn’t impact me until the two little ones didn’t get Chicken Pox. I didn’t get them that vaccine until recently. They’re almost 11 and 13 and haven’t had Chicken Pox yet. So, I caved and got them the vaccine.

I trust our Doctor. He’s a friend. Our kids are friends.

I struggled with this vaccine. Read tons about it on here, too. I went with what our Doctor said.
