What are the major vaccinations? Here is the problem, they don’t let parents pick and choose. You opt out of all the shots for religious reasons, or you get them all. There is no middle ground.

I have had serious reactions in my family from the DPT shot. My sister’s child never made it out of the doctors office. She was rushed to the hospital, and suffered seizures for about two years after the shot. My cousins child was not so luckily, he suffered permanent brain damage.

The CDC says that if a close family member has had a reaction to a certain shot, they recommend to not give the shot to your child. However, you need to get a release from a doctor. Good luck finding a doctor that will give you a release for a certain shot. My sister could not even get one for her child. The same doctor wanted to give her the shot again 6 months later.
We have no choice but to opt out for religions reasons. You do not have the option to do any of them.
You see, we are not all nuts reading about autism. This is the hardest decision that I have had to make. I still worry about my choice, but it is the right choice for my family at this time. I still am a person that believes it is the parents choice.

BTW, 131 case is not an outbreak. How many people are walking around with TB? You can sure find a lot more to worry about than 131 cases of measles.

For the sake of your family and the community, you NEED to find another doctor, who will be competent and give you the release you need. Risking your family’s exposure to any number of life threatening diseases because your Doc makes you opt out of all vaccinations or none, cannot be an option.
