That should answr your question.
I have personally talked to five diffeent mothers of newborns that had the hepitisis B shot and every one of them is having a problem with their children adjusting to solid foods. Ask the MOTHER of the newborns also its very It's important to know if the shot was incubated by a chicken egg or an monkey.
uh, what political agenda does one have who doesn't want others to mandate vaccines for their children? giving un-tested vaccines to newborns qualifies to me as experimental and thus irresponsibley criminal. bottom line, freep-tarrrrd, you care for your childs health the way you see fit and i'll care for mine..
Yes they do. Against government and either do-gooders full of hubris.

I know little or nothing about food intolerance syndromes. The google search I just did on "food intolerance" and "vaccine" revealed that some of the same shaky and unscientific studies that try to link vaccines with autism are attempting to link vaccines to bowel diseases. Before you take any such claims seriously, you have to consider that autism and bowel diseases strike unimmunized kids, and the vast overwhelming number of immunized kids are perfectly healthy. No credible data exists showing any causal relationships between vaccines and autism or bowel disease. But do the searches yourself. Confront your doctor with any credible looking data you may find. But don't, please don't, trust anonymous tips on the internet where the life of your child is concerned.
Really? When my son was born, there were seven - SEVEN - babies born in our office during the same month. All received Hep B shots at the doctor's office, all are healthy and eating fine. Same goes for the kids in the neighborhood, who all use the same local pediatrics practice.
I think you're lying.
"freep-tarrrrd?" LOL! Are you sure your not just harboring a grudge against the pediatricians because you're nine years old and he hurt you with the needle?
As for "caring for yours," do that. And stop giving out medical advice that could put the children of others at risk of losing their lives.
as for medical advice, i haven't given any and i would suggest you do the same.

If you subsidize something, you will get more of it.
And the members of the medical profession are no more immune to orthodoxy than others.
Wait, let's back up for a minute.
The anti-vaccine "experts" around here make claims that vaccinating children is dangerous. They claim that the "evidence" is all around you and all you need to do is ignore the doctor and look at all the information on the internet. They then say the only reason that pediatricians "push" vaccines is to "line their pockets".
Now, it is clear to me that these people are saying that doctors are knowingly giving children vaccines they know are dangerous for the single purpose of making money.
Only, when the argument is put that way, realizing that just about EVERY pediatrician recommends vaccines, does the absolute silliness of the argument show itself.
Well, duh.
I would suggest that you do an internet search for Engerix and Recombivax. You may be able to find an answer online.
And at the same, we've been warned about adverse reactions.
IMO, that was the whole purpose of Jimmy Carter elevating Education to a cabinet position, and thus getting Federal dollars into local schools -- and the controls that go with the $$.
The very fact that you engaged some of the anti-vaccine fanatics in discussion had me quite concerned.
And, conversely, veterinarian schools are now looking seriously at overvaccination of pets as a source of rampant increases in diabetes, cancers, arthritis, and other potentially auto-immune related diseases. This doesn't have relevancy to humans at this point. The studies, which my veteranarian printed out for me, have to do with repeated annual vaccinations for rabies, distemper, parvo, etc. diseases which may be unnecessary - possibly harmful - at such frequent intervals. Many jurisdictions now allow blood titers to be taken for vaccine levels and will waive vaccinations if the titer result is certified as adequate to prevent disease by the vet. The titers are about as costly, sometimes less so, than the vacinations, so I go this route with my pets.
My wife is also a breast-feeding advocate who has been published in a national magazine. She wanted our babies to develop immunities and strength before being injected with vaccines, and I recall in particular that both of our children were not vaccinated with hep. b until age 3, and with merely a fever at that time. Our kids were never in a day care or school or anything else that might increase the risk of contracting the disease, however. In retrospect, with our daughter suffering a fever seizure at a 103 degree temp. a year later, I believe we did the absolute right thing in waiting so as to avoid a potentially more devastating result at 1 year, 6 months, or God-forbid, as a newborn.
The comments in the reply to your post are wholly unwarranted. Parents should make the most informed decisions they can make regarding vaccines. It certainly is never the doctor's decision.
