Riddle me this. I’m assuming your kid was adopted, correct? Since you stated the mother wasn’t up to date on vaccines. I’m just wondering how that happened.
Locally, it’s VERY difficult to avoid the vaccination schedule. Particularly if you get WIC.
The hospital won’t release the kid at all after birth unless there’s a pediatric followup visit at 2w scheduled.
Cancelling a pediatric visit w/o scheduling a followup or requesting records be sent to another doctor will trigger a child services call. Seriously.
Moreover, full vaccination is part of the WIC game. If they want WIC money they have to have those pediatric followup visits and vaccines according to the state schedule.
I’m just wondering how vaccines were skipped in this day and age when it’s particularly difficult, especially for neonates and infants, to avoid them. Especially if the mom is on any benefits at all...
locally most anti-vaxers are further up the food chain, such as MD’s, etc.
It was a relative, and we have legal custody, now.
And all I’m saying about vaccinations ... is that if there is no connection between vaccinations and Autism, then we’re on the wrong thread ... because this is about Autism.
But, if there is a connection, someone is going to have to show that to be so, and not just because “they say so” ... :-) ... (and a bunch of Internet links “saying so”, isn’t going to do it, either). That might work for a lot of other people, but it’s not going to work for me.
